Submission basics
This page offers information for those making a submission to Council with respect to:
- Official Plan Amendments
- Zoning By-law Amendments
- Draft Plans of Subdivisions, and;
- Draft Plans of Condominiums
You can make a submission to Council to inform them of your opinion before a decision is made by:
- making an oral submission to Planning and Development Council at a public meeting (if one is held). Registering as a Delegate in advance of the meeting is strongly recommended.
- making a written submission to Council c/o the Town Clerk at the Town of Oakville, Clerk’s department, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 or at townclerk@oakville.ca before a decision is made.
Public meetings are required for Official Plan amendments and Zoning By-law amendments but are not required for Draft Plans of Subdivision or Draft Plans of Condominium.
To be notified of the town’s decision on an application, you must make a written request to the Town Clerk at the Town of Oakville, Clerk’s department, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 or at townclerk@oakville.ca.
What happens after a decision is made
After a decision is made and notice of the decision is issued, the timeframe for an appeal will begin. Filing an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) is a process that can be used when there is a disagreement with Town Council’s decision.
The following people can file an appeal:
- the applicant (in the case of private applications)
- the owner of land to which an Official Plan or Zoning By-law amendment applies
- the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
- a specified person, as defined in the Planning Act (such as a utility company)
- a public body, as defined in the Planning Act (such as another municipality or provincial or federal agency)
