The City of Oshawa has launched Imagine Oshawa: Municipal Comprehensive Review of the Oshawa Official Plan (the “Official Plan Review”), a city-wide initiative to guide how Oshawa grows and develops in the years ahead.

A key part of the Official Plan Review is a Growth Management Study, which will explore when, where and how future growth and development should happen in Oshawa. This includes planning for land uses and infrastructure to meet our needs today and in the future – and we need your input to help set the course!

As a first step, you are invited to complete a brief feedback form available online at Connect Oshawa or in person at Service Oshawa in Oshawa City Hall (50 Centre St. S.).

Feedback may be submitted up to noon on Friday, August 1, 2025. This input will help the project team to understand your current level of familiarity with the Official Plan and the City’s planning framework, and shape how we engage with the community throughout the Growth Management Study and Official Plan Review process.

You might be wondering, are we asking you to engage on how we engage? Yes we are! Your feedback will help us create a more informed, inclusive and effective approach.
