The Project
The Township has initiated the South Fergus Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and Secondary Plan, with the purpose of guiding development of the remaining designated greenfield lands in South Fergus.

The South Fergus Secondary Plan provides a conceptual framework for the area and addresses the mix, arrangement and density of land uses, collector road network, size and location of parks and school sites, the location of major services, and the natural heritage network. It is intended to provide the basis for the preparation of future Planning Act applications.

Township Council passed By-law No. 2024-27 on the 27th day of May, 2024, adopting Amendment No.14 to the Municipal Official Plan for the Township of Centre Wellington, pursuant to Sections 17 and 21 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. The amendment can be found in the documents section of this page. The amendment received approval from the County of Wellington and came into effect on November 1, 2024.

These lands were added to the Urban Centre boundary in 2003 to accommodate projected growth for at least 20 years. Concurrent with the secondary plan process, a Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) has been undertaken to integrate infrastructure requirements for existing and future land uses under the Municipal Class EA process with environmental assessment planning principles. The MESP was endorsed by Council on April 15, 2024. Further details on the MESP and the Notice of Completion can be found in the documents section of this page.
