Official Plan
The Oshawa Official Plan sets out the land use policy directions for long-term growth and development in the city, and manages and guides the physical form and growth of the city.
Regular reviews of the Oshawa Official Plan ensure it continues to meet the City's changing needs and complies with the Durham Regional Official Plan and Provincial policies. Changes to the Official Plan are sometimes required to allow new development or redevelopment.
If your project does not comply with the Oshawa Official Plan, you may need to revise your plans to comply or submit an Application for an Official Plan Amendment.

future together
The City of Oshawa is undertaking a comprehensive review of its Official Plan – the blueprint sets out the land use policy directions for long-term growth and development for how Oshawa will grow for years to come – and we want to hear your ideas!
To help generate ideas, the City’s Planning Services department has prepared a Discussion Paper about the Official Plan Review that explains why the Official Plan is important, provides details about the Official Plan Review process and identifies potential key themes that will be explored.
