King Township is starting a review of its Official Plan, titled “Our King”. The Official Plan Review will develop a roadmap to guide growth in King to the year 2051.

The Official Plan affects every resident, business, and landowner in King Township. Our King establishes a comprehensive, long-term vision for the future of the Township as a whole and a detailed policy framework to guide growth in King. The Our King Official Plan was approved by York Region in September 2020 and development in the Township to the 2031 planning horizon.
