Council make decisions for the current and future of the Township based on a number of plans, reports, and studies. Here are some of the important documents they consider.

Community Improvement Plans

A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning and economic development tool that sets out a framework to assist in community revitalization, and assists to achieve economic, community planning, and urban development goals.

Development Charges Background Study

When a developer builds in the community, the Township collects development charges to help pay for the increased capital costs to service those developments.

The Development Charges Background Study assists Council in setting the cost of development charges.

 Service Delivery Review

A Township-wide Service Delivery Review was completed and presented at the Committee of the Whole meeting on November 2, 2020. The review was completed by Maclaren Consulting Inc. and was made possible through funding from the Province under the service modernization funding for small and rural communities. The objectives of the study were to analyze and evaluate current services and service delivery methods, as well as to recommend opportunities to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of municipal services. The recommendations outlined in the report include improvements to partnerships, communications, and customer service, as well as new or updated activities to support the objectives of the strategic plan. These opportunities will be built upon and further reported to the public and Council in the future. 

Growth Forecast Study

In 2019 our consultant, Hemson, undertook a growth forecast study for the Township. The study forecasts population, housing, and employment projections up to the year 2046. This gives Council a basis to plan for future growth and development in Loyalist.

Official Plan

The Official Plan dictates what kinds of development can take place in Loyalist Township, and where they can happen. The plan takes into account social and economic needs, the fiscal ability of the Township, the environment, and natural resources. Since some of these factors change over time, the province requires us to update our Official Plan every five years. The most recent update was in 2019 and was adopted by Council in early 2020.

Recreation Master Plan

The Recreation Master Plan (large file: 7MB) is in effect from 2017 through 2027. It guides planning for indoor and outdoor recreation facilities and programs, and the development and management of parks, trails, and other green space that is owned or managed by the Township.

Recreation Service Delivery Review

The Recreation Service Delivery Review was completed in 2022. This document is intended to provide clear guidance on the best ways to design and implement recreation and community programming that (1) reflects the changing needs of residents, (2) achieves meaningful improvements to the health and well-being of all age groups, and (3) delivers exceptional value based on the resources and facilities available.

Strategic Plan

Our strategic plan was updated in 2019. The plan was developed after consultation with residents, developers, staff, and other stakeholders. The current strategic plan covers the period 2019 through 2023.

Water and Sewer Rates Study

A new water and sewer rates study (large file: 29MB) was completed in 2019 and included consultation with residents, developers, builders, and other stakeholders. The new rate structure has decreased fixed rates while increasing metered rates. This gives residents the opportunity to exercise greater control over their bills by conserving water. Council considers an update to water and sewer user rates each year. The next water and sewer rates study is planned for 2024.

Emergency Plan

The Emergency Plan for Loyalist Township has been developed to reflect the public safety
requirements of our community. The effective use and maintenance of this plan are reliant
upon all concerned being aware of its provisions and prepared to fulfill their roles and
responsibilities in the event of an emergency. Responsible individuals are expected to
participate in emergency training and exercises which will assist them in the fulfillment of their
roles accordingly.

ResiLienT Loyalist Township Climate Action Plan

The ResiLienT Loyalist Township Climate Action Plan contains goals and strategies for both the Loyalist Township corporate and community reductions. With a corporate GHG reduction target of a 49% reduction in GHG emissions below 2016 levels by 2031 & a community GHG reduction target of 25% below 2017 levels by 2031 was approved by Council in November 2020.
