The Town and its consultant team initiated work on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Review and the Housing Needs Assessment in early April 2025. The project team met with representatives from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the various provincial ministries involved with Official Plan reviews in late April 2025. The consultant team has completed the initial background review, including gathering data and information pertaining to population, housing, and employment forecasts, as well as the unique local context, issues, and goals in Marathon that will inform the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Review.
The Draft Background Report and Draft Housing Need Assessment are available for review, and a Public Open House will be held in Marathon on August 19th, 2025 to introduce the project to the community and present the findings of the Draft Reports. Please refer to the Notice of Public Open House for more information, and how to participate!
