Planning and Development in Brockton is managed in part by the County of Bruce as the County is the approval authority for the Municipality of Brockton. The Bruce County Planning Department carries out certain planning activities on behalf of the Municipality.
| What is Planning? |
|
The Canadian Institute of Planners defines planning as "the scientific, aesthetic, and orderly disposition of land, resources, facilities, and services with a view to securing the physical, economic and social efficiency, health, and well-being of urban and rural communities." |
| Land Use Planning |
|
The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing defines land use planning as "managing our land and resources". It helps each community to set goals about how it will grow and develop and to work out ways of reaching those goals while keeping important social, economic, and environmental concerns in mind. It balances the interests of individual property owners with the wider interests and objectives of the whole community." Official Plans, Zoning By-Laws, and similar documents are tools of the land use planning system in Ontario. |
