The Department of Planning, Transit and the Environment will be reviewing and updating the existing plan for the Village of Richmond. Visit the City web site.

What is the existing Village Plan all about?
The existing Village Plan, made part of the City’s Official Plan in 2003, explains how village land will be developed in the future. It includes provisions for residential, commercial and industrial land use and environmental management. This Plan will remain in effect until Council adopts the new plan.

Why are we doing this planning project now?
The existing Village Plan prepared by the former Township of Goulbourn, designated 210 hectares of land for “future development” and established that these lands be eligible for development when the population of Richmond reaches 4,500. The City estimates that the village population will exceed this number by the end of 2008.

Therefore, the City is taking the initiative to review the existing plan and prepare a new plan that includes uses for the future development lands and the village as a whole.

By undertaking this project now, the City can ensure that:

• · Village residents are involved and can have their say on the future development
• · The provisions of the existing Village Plan are respected
• · The new plan addresses other related matters that are important to residents

Attend any or all of our public events and have your say on the future of Richmond Village!
