The Municipality of Brockton is undertaking a review and update of its Walkerton Official Plan and Brockton Comprehensive Zoning By-law. 

An Official Plan describes the Municipality’s policies on how the municipality will grow, what will be protected and how land in your community should be used.  An Official Plan is prepared with input from your community to ensure it meets your specific needs.

A Zoning By-law is a legal document which implements the Official Plan. It regulates the use of the land and the required standards for each use.

The intent of this update is to review the existing planning framework to incorporate new policy direction following recent changes to provincial legislation and to align with the Bruce County Official Plan. In addition, it will consider local planning issues that impact your community.
