Municipality of Trent Lakes Official Plan
The Official Plan describes council’s policies on how land in the municipality should be used, and helps decide where roads, watermains, sewers, garbage dumps, parks and other services will be built. The Official Plan also provides a framework for establishing municipal zoning by-laws to set local regulations and standards, like the size of a lot and height of a building.
The Trent Lakes Official Plan is currently under review through the County of Peterborough Official Plan Review Project.

Comprehensive Zoning By-Law
A zoning by-law controls the use of land in your community. It states exactly:
