Planning helps guide how land is used in our community. It helps make sure homes, businesses, roads, and services are located in the right places so that Val Rita-Harty can continue to grow and thrive for years to come.

In Ontario, planning is guided by the Province through the Planning Act. This law sets out the rules and steps the Township must follow when reviewing planning applications and projects. The Township must also follow provincial policies and plans that help support safe, healthy, and sustainable communities.
