The District Municipality of Muskoka is pleased to have resumed the Resort Policy Review project for Muskoka. Lead by Meridian Planning Consultants Ltd., this project continues initial work from 2017 that was undertaken as part of the comprehensive review of the Muskoka Official Plan. This project aims to update the policy framework to guide resort development and redevelopment across Muskoka in a way that is consistent with good planning principles.
During this first phase of the project, we are seeking to gather community insight into opportunities and challenges surrounding resort development and redevelopment that will be used to inform future policy options. This survey provides a chance for you to share your initial thoughts. All responses are confidential and only aggregated results will be released. Please feel free to skip any questions that either you are not comfortable with, do not apply to you, or where you would prefer not to comment.
Thank-you for contributing to this project!
