County Local Offical Plans
Located in southwestern Ontario, Lambton County is known as Ontario’s Blue Coast. Nestled on the shores of the St. Clair River and Lake Huron, Lambton County has thriving city and country communities that blend agriculture, industry, the Great Lakes, and flourishing residential areas.
NPG Planning Solutions led the five-year review and updating of three local Official Plans simultaneously. Working with County and local municipal staff, the NPG completed consultation focused to the needs of each community; worked closely with staff and each of the three Councils to identify and provide solutions to community issues; and achieved Official Plan updates that reflect the needs and futures of each community.

A key component of NPG’s work was engaging with property owners on their sites to understand what analysis had been done by owners (servicing, environmental site assessment, subdivision planning, and more) and translating the owners’ information into the summary analysis and database.
