Master Plans

As part of the Town's strategic planning, a series of service area master plans were developed. These plans take an in-depth look at our municipal services, evaluate service delivery and identify future needs

Parks and Recreation Master Plan

The Town of Milton is updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan to shape the future of parks, programs, and recreation facilities from 2026 to 2031.

The master plan will serve as a strategic roadmap to guide practical decision-making, ensuring that investments in parks, facilities, and programs align with community needs and available resources.

This plan will reflect input from residents, user groups, and Town Council. We invite you to get involved and help shape the plan. Visit the Let’s Talk Milton project page to learn more and share your feedback.

Culture Plan

The Milton Culture Plan, "Here to Stay", reflects Milton’s diversity and provides a framework that will continue to guide equitable, creative and collaborative cultural planning in Milton over the next decade and beyond.

Digital Strategy

The Town developed their first Digital Strategy in 2022. The strategy adopts the principle of ‘digital by default’ and identified a set of digital themes to guide future technology investments. The themes include:

• Connecting the community
• Collaborative platforms
• Digital service delivery
• Automation and mobility
• Data analytics

To achieve the digital by default vision, 12 strategic priorities were identified that the Town should focus on.

The Economic Development Strategy includes strategies to facilitate the economic growth of existing businesses as well as provide resources to organizations wishing to locate in Milton. Some of these strategies include:

• Focusing on future business retention, expansion and attraction initiatives
• Securing the role of the Milton’s downtown as a distinct employment centre
• Sustaining the rural/agricultural and tourism sectors
• Refreshing the Town’s marketing and communications materials and messages
