On December 20, 2021, Halton Region received Dufferin’s application to amend the Regional Official Plan. The application proposes to expand the extraction areas to the east of the existing quarry. Regional Council is responsible for making a decision on the proposed Regional Official Plan Amendment. The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (external link), through the Aggregate Resources Act (external link) approval process, is ultimately responsible for making a decision on the quarry expansion.
Members of the public, including Dufferin Aggregates Co., are invited to provide written or oral submissions. To send a written submission or make a verbal presentation, please email regionalclerk@halton.ca and janice.hogg@halton.ca by 5 p.m. on May 16, 2023.
