Boyne Survey Secondary Plan

Boyne Survey Secondary Plan

The area referred to as the Boyne Survey Secondary Plan Area within the Town of Milton, is the third of three planned residential areas of growth, designated as such within the current Milton Urban Expansion Area boundary, being implemented as part of the Halton Urban Structure Plan (HUSP).

Prior to development in this area, it is necessary to prepare a secondary plan document (a more detailed policy framework for the area) along with supporting studies including a Retail Market Analysis Update and a Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw Review in relation to intensification. The secondary plan will provide detailed policies on matters such as land use, urban form and design, intensification and alternative housing form opportunities, transportation/transit, parks and open space systems, functional servicing and stormwater management including a comprehensive fisheries compensation and monitoring plan, heritage preservation and other related issues for the Boyne Survey planning district.

Study Team

Macaulay Shiomi Howson Ltd. has been retained to lead the Boyne Survey Secondary Plan study process. In addition, they are responsible for the land use planning component of the project. The study team also includes the following technical specialists:
