Public Meeting

Under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, the Corporation of the City of Sarnia will hold a Public Meeting on Monday, October 16th, 2023, at 1:00 PM in the Council Chambers to present and receive public input regarding a proposed amendment to the City’s Official Plan.

The City has initiated an update to the Development Area 2 (DA2) Secondary Plan, the City’s largest greenfield area designated to accommodate future growth. The Secondary Plan area is approximately 570 hectares and is bounded by the Canadian National Railway to the south, Highway 40 to the west, Blackwell Sideroad to the east, and London Line to the north. The update is intended to implement the modernized land use framework from the Official Plan update, which converted approximately 34 hectares of employment land south of Wellington Street within DA2 for mixed-use and residential purposes.
