Our Gateway to Tomorrow: Official Plan Review

Our Gateway to Tomorrow

Town of Gravenhurst Official Plan Review

We’re creating a new Official Plan to guide how Gravenhurst grows and thrives over the next 30 years!

The Official Plan is our community’s roadmap to 2056 – creating a vision for where homes and businesses go, how we protect our lakes and natural spaces, the way our neighbourhoods are designed, and ways residents and visitors can move around town.

What This Plan Will Do

This forward-looking Plan will:

• Encourage economic vitality and opportunity, particularly in the downtown and Wharf areas
• Support smart, sustainable growth
• Ensure environmental protection and climate resilience
• Plan for infrastructure, parks, and public spaces
• Advance transportation and connectivity
• Promote community identity through building and neighbourhood design

Working Together

As part of the District of Muskoka, the Town’s Official Plan will align with District priorities, including protecting lake health, managing growth, and addressing natural hazards, while keeping the document clear and easy to use.

Built for the Community

Our Gateway to Tomorrow will be more than just a plan – it will create a shared vision for Gravenhurst. The Official Plan will be:

• Easy to understand
• Flexible, as needs and priorities change
• Centered on the people who live, work, play, and do business in Gravenhurst

Together, we’re shaping a strong, resilient, and vibrant future.
