The Project Team is excited to announce that the ThinKING Green: Sustainable Development Program was endorsed by Council on May 13, 2024. The Project Team thanks everyone who has submitted comments and participated in the development of the Program.

ThinKING Green focuses on implementing the sustainability policies outlined in the Township's Our King Official Plan for new development applications and encourages all new development to protect and enhance both natural and urban environments while utilizing efficient, innovative and sustainable measures. ThinKING Green will come into effect for all Site Plan and Draft Plan of Subdivision Applications submitted on or after September 1, 2024.

The final Council endorsed ThinKING Green is available in the Document Library, and includes the modifications approved by Council at the May 13th meeting to Metrics 3.5a and 3.5b. For more information on the Program, the final Report to Council identifies changes to the Program and the proposed approach to implementation.
