Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected May 5, 2026

A detailed planning report dated April 28, 2026 briefs Morris-Turnberry Council on Ontario’s Bill 98 and related regulatory changes, including a requirement that all official plans follow a new standardized framework and land-use designation list by January 1, 2029. Huron County Planning staff note that with reduced departmental staffing due to budget decisions, rewriting ten official plans and preparing new schedules (mapping) within that timeframe may require hiring consultants. The report also flags other complex planning tasks ahead: adapting projection methodologies and land needs assessments to the 2024 Provincial Planning Statement, updating the County’s 2015 Employment Lands Study, responding to new complete application standards, and addressing lot size, parkland dedication, communal servicing, site plan reform, and electronic submissions.This creates a multi‑year opportunity for planning, GIS, land‑economics, engagement, and digital permitting vendors to support the County and Morris-Turnberry with policy rewrites, mapping, employment lands analysis, land needs assessments, and process modernization before the 2029 compliance deadline.

Huron County’s last Employment Lands Study was completed in 2015 by Watson & Associates and is identified as needing an update to align with new PPS 2024 requirements.
