Omagh village is located at the intersection of Old Britannia Rd. and Fourth Line in Milton.

The Town is integrating Omagh as a unique neighbourhood within the surrounding Boyne Survey Secondary Plan Area and Britannia Secondary Plan, recognizing the area’s distinct characteristics.

Status update

Background

On August 2016, Milton Council received Staff Report PD-034-16 which outlined the history of Omagh Village. Council endorsed the Terms of Reference and Work Plan to prepare a report examining the potential implications of a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) designation. The report also recommended changes to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, where necessary.

The most current background work is the 2019 Omagh Village Heritage and Character Value Assessment Background Report (PD-050-19). This report was originally prepared in support of a proposed “Character Area” designation. The Town is no longer pursuing this approach.

Instead, a new study will define the features that contribute to the village’s unique character and identify environmental, servicing, and transportation constraints. This approach will help support a cohesive planning framework for future development and zoning. 

The Omagh Study is expected to begin in fall 2025 and be completed in early 2027.
