New Tecumseth Official Plan

The Town of New Tecumseth Official Plan was Provincially approved with modifications in 1995. Since then a number of Official Plan Amendments have been approved. The following copy of the Official Plan has been consolidated with amendments up to the fall of 1999.

New Tecumseth Strategic Plan

On November 14, 2005 New Tecumseth Council approved its new strategic plan, “Building on the Foundation” replacing the Town’s first strategic plan, “Foundation for the Future”, adopted by the Town in 1991.

New Tecumseth Emergency Plan

Most municipalities routinely attend to emergencies that require fire fighting, policing, ambulance and public works related response. Large-scale emergencies such as chemical spills, plane crashes and natural emergencies - tornadoes, floods, etc., can severely deplete available resources, requiring additional personnel, equipment and expertise. In cases such as these, an Emergency Plan must be implemented.

New Tecumseth Growth Managment Reports

The purpose of this report is to update residential and non-residential growth forcasts for the Town of New Tecumseth and determine land requirements to accommodate such growth, as input to an Official Plan review process.

Urban Forest Management Strategy

It is a long-term (i.e., 20 year) plan that addresses: tree inventory needs, tree planting opportunities, tree care needs (e.g., pruning, cabling, soil amendments, etc.) and hazard prevention. This plan then outlines mechanisms of implementation, including development of more short-term plans incorporating these items on a priority basis, as well as ongoing public education, and anticipated budgetary requirements.

Updated Leisure & Culture Master Plan

The Town of New Tecumseth offers a high quality of life to local residents through access to a varied open space system, its small community atmosphere, a strong employment base, and its proximity to other population centres. As a result, New Tecumseth continues to experience strong growth pressures, particularly in the form of residential development. Growth has largely been focused on the Town’s three settlement areas – Alliston (including Briar Hill), Beeton, and Tottenham.
In response to these issues, the Town has undertaken an update to the 2000 Leisure & Culture Master Plan. The scope of the Leisure & Culture Master Plan Update encompasses the acquisition, provision and distribution of parks, culture, and leisure facilities and services.

Urban Design Guidelines

The Town of New Tecumseth Urban Design Guidelines were developed as a component of the growth management study to update the Town's Official Plan. These guidelines were initiated in light of the Town's projected development growth over the next twenty years and the desire to guide urban growth in a coordinated and pleasing manner. Specifically, the guidelines reinforce the Province's Smart Growth initiatives and a key enduring Official Plan principle: to "maintain a pleasant small town environment that allows for a mix of rural, agricultural and urban interests to continue and to thrive"

Façade Improvement Guidelines

The Town of New Tecumseth - Façade Improvement Guidelines were developed to augment the Town's Urban Design Guidelines and Landscape Design Guidelines by providing property owners in the three urban commercial cores of Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham, guidelines for restoring and/or refurbishing their commercial storefront facades in the context of an historical building conservation strategy. The Guidelines are intended to assist in the overall enhancement of the visual appearance of the commercial core areas in support of their long term economic viability.

Community Improvement Plan

The Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham Downtowns - Community Improvement Plan (CIP) has been prepared to provide grants to eligible property owners in each of the three commercial downtown cores of Alliston, Beeton and Tottenham to assist with the costs of restoration and/or refurbishment of the commercial storefront facades, exterior side street elevations and/or rear elevations facing the Boyne River, in the context of an historical building conservation strategy.

Urban Commerical Core Parking Study

The Town's objective is to ensure that an adequate parking supply is provided in each of the urban commercial core areas to encourage healthy and vibrant downtown areas and ensure their long-term viability.

2009 Annual Drinking Water Reports

The reports provide a brief description of the water systems, some of the major works undertaken to operate and maintain the systems in 2006, and the most recent water quality data.
 
Addendum To Class Environmental Assessment for Wastewater Treatment (February 2005)

The Town of New Tecumseth has undertaken a review of the wastewater treatment strategy recommended in the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Wastewater Treatment conducted in 2005. A component of the preferred alternative identified in the 2005 Class EA was decommissioning the Tottenham WWTP, pumping all wastewater flows from the Community of Tottenham to the Regional WWTP for treatment, and expanding the Regional WWTP.  
The outcome of the study will be the issuance of an Addendum to the 2005 Class EA Environmental Study Report, in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (as amended in 2007) which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act.  The Addendum was placed on the public record for review on September 1st, 2010.  Subject to comments received, the Addendum will be final on October 1st, 2010.

Community of Beeton Master Servicing Plan

The Town of New Tecumseth is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to evaluate the existing services and determine alternative schemes for future sanitary sewage collection, water distribution, transportation, stormwater management and electrical distribution for the Community of Beeton.  
The Outcome of this study will be a Master Servicing Plan report for the Community of Beeton, in accordance with the “Municipal Class Environmental Assessment” document (as amended in 2007), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Downtown Enhancement Master Plan

The goal of this Master Plan is to establish an overall shared vision for the three downtowns; build upon the unique characteristics and opportunities in each downtown; and, set out a series of short and long term action items for downtown enhancement. The results of the Master Plan will provide Downtown Enhancement recommendations for Alliston, Tottenham and Beeton.
