That is not to say that each of us agree with every word in the plan or that we can’t make any changes or improvements to it today. I’m sure we can and we will.

But what it means is that our Committee has come to a consensus about what this Plan should say abut our Region up to two decades in to the new millennium and that we feel confident in presenting this plan for your approval.

This consensus is possible because this Official Plan was built out of the most extensive public review ever initiated.

It started with an environmental review of the current Official Plan, an Ideas Fair in the Spring of 1994 and the Community Vision Exercise in 1995.

That was followed by the Regional Development Strategy and the Transportation and Water and Wastewater Master Plan studies and the release of the first draft of this plan last February.

Countless thousands of citizens have contributed their time and effort to the various briefs, submissions and delegations that have been presented to staff and to our Committee.

It was a challenge to produce a new Regional Official Plan concurrently with Master Plans for Transportation, Water and Wastewater in such a tight time frame. But staff and councillors alike rose to the occasion. This was made possible because the process was transparent and flexible; deadlines were kept and communication among stakeholders was open, frequent and welcome. Staff, of course, are to be commended for this formidable piece of work but most of all, the citizens that took the time to participate in this very important process are to be recognized and thanked. These participants include:

All of these people worked with staff to develop these plans. It was a truly collaborative effort.

So today we can come to you with a plan that still needs some fine tuning which Council will shortly start to do but which I feel has developed through its extensive public input the overwhelming support of the citizens of our Region.

For example, through the Community Vision and the Regional Development Strategy it was clear our citizens wanted to see a more compact form of development - and we are presenting a plan with no expansion of the existing approved urban boundaries.

Through the Community Vision and Regional Development Strategy our citizens told us protection of the environment remained a high priority and we have reflected that in among other measures our protection of urban open space and the environmental overlays reflected in the new Schedule K.

And our citizens told us they wanted cost effective local government. This Official Plan and the Transportation and Water and Wastewater Master Plans reflect that by developing infrastructure to be built on an as needed just in time basis, by calling for more loads to be carried on our existing roads and by increasing our expectation of the use of alternate forms of transportation such as walking, cycling and transit.

Mr. Chair, before I turn this over to Mr. Tunnacliffe I would be tremendously remiss if I didn’t single out a few members of his staff for particular appreciation for the job they did in guiding our committee through its hearings and debates.

I refer particularly to the Director of Policy and Infrastructure Planning, Pamela Sweet and staff members Marnie Cappe, Brendan Reid, David Miller, Carol Christensen, Kim Eaton and the rest of the team.

Also I would personally like to thank Committee Coordinator, Dawn Whelan, for her excellence in coordinating public input to the Committee and in keeping this Chairman more or less on track.

And so Mr. Chair and Council I am pleased to present an Official Plan that reflects the input of thousands. I look forward to final touches on this our "Blueprint for Tomorrow".

 

Nick Tunnacliffe, Planning and Development Approvals Commissioner, then presented an overview of the Official Plan recapping the steps taken to reach this point of the process and highlighted the major proposals contained in the new Official Plan.

 

Council then proceeded to consider the Draft Regional Official Plan, the Draft Water and Wastewater Master Plans and the Draft Transportation Master Plan.
