Separate written submissions, by letter or e-mail to the Town Clerk, received by October 15th, 2007 will also be considered by Town Council in its future deliberations. The Region of Halton in consultation with the local municipalities of Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville has commenced a planning exercise known as the Sustainable Halton Plan. The Sustainable Halton Plan is intended to respond to Places to Grow, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. In the Growth Plan the Region of Halton is targeted to grow to 780,000 people and 390,000 jobs by 2031. The recently completed Phase 1 of the Sustainable Halton process has determined that additional urban lands are required in Halton Region to accommodate the 2031 Growth Plan targets. Specific locations for additional urban land and the allocation of growth among the four local municipalities of Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville has yet to be decided by the Region. Phase 2 of Sustainable Halton involves the development by the Region of evaluation criteria and preparation of growth scenarios to 2031. The growth scenarios are scheduled to be released by the Region in January 2008 for public and agency review. As part of this process, the Region is seeking the Towns input as to evaluation criteria and the growth scenarios which the Region should consider during Phase 2. In order to assist Town Council in its on-going deliberations on this matter, Halton Hills Council is inviting submissions from interested residents and other stakeholders. The October 15th meeting is not a statutory public meeting pursuant to the Planning Act. Town Council will not be making any decisions on this matter at the October 15, 2007 meeting but will be considering any submissions made on the 15th of October in its future deliberations. More information is available on the Town website at www.haltonhills.ca and search for Sustainable Halton, or by contacting Steve Burke at (905) 873-2601, extension 2254 or stevebu@haltonhills.ca.
