Official Plan

The Official Plan for the City of Thorold is a land use planning document that guides and shapes development by identifying where and under what circumstances specific types of land uses can be located. It is used to ensure that growth and development appropriately balances social, economic, cultural and environmental interests of the community.

The Official Plan was approved by the Niagara Region on April 28, 2016, and consolidated October 2025.
