Official Plan

Official Plan Update in Progress

The Town of Marathon is currently updating its Official Plan in partnership with WSP. This long-term planning document outlines the community’s vision for growth, land use, and development over the next 20 years.

This page is being updated to reflect the review process now underway. Stay tuned for project details and opportunities to provide input. 

Official Plan Information

An official plan outlines how land in a municipality should be used. It is prepared with input from the community and helps to ensure that future planning and development will meet the specific needs of the community.

An Official Plan deals with issues, such as:

• Where new housing, industry, offices and shops will go;
• What services will be needed (ex. roads, water mains, sewers, parks and schools); and
• When, and in what order, parts of your community will grow

We update our Official Plan every five years to reflect changes in the community and economy in accordance with the Ontario Planning Act.
