I am pleased to enclose the a copy of the Official Plan
for the Town of Aurora, with the Certificate Page which
was partially approved on March 26, 1993.
We wish to compliment the Town on their new Official
Plan which clearly expresses the Town's vision for
future growth and development.
Given the duration of the Provincial review and follow-
up negotiations a number of modifications were
necessary. Additionally, there remain a number of
outstanding deferred portions of the Plan that relate
to the Wellington East Corridor Study. Once the
results of that study are endorsed by Council we would
look to the Town for recommendations on how to proceed
with a further approval of these portions of the Plan.
Also, there are a number of deferrals that relate to
·lands owned by Magna International. We hope in the
next several weeks to have a better understanding of
Magna's interests in this regard. We assure the Town
that any meetings on this matter would include
representatives from the Town.
We will be working with the Town to clear up as many of
the deferrals as possible through further approvals.
We have noted some typographical errors on the
Certificate page since our approval and for your
convenience have corrected the attached certificate
page to reflect these errors.

Plan with all modifications, deferrals and referrals
