2025 InvestMilton Annual Report
Progress & Advocacy in Land Use
Planning policy shapes how Milton grows, and the InvestMilton team has been a key voice in that process. Our team brings forward real‑world business needs, land‑use trends, and sector insights to help ensure the Official Plan and local Secondary Plans support job growth, investment, and a balanced land supply.
In 2025, the Britannia Secondary Plan and Trafalgar Tertiary Plan were approved. Both plans are key residential areas that support the adjacent business park development and provide new commercial opportunities for Milton’s growing community.
Britannia Secondary Plan
At nearly 900 gross development hectares, Britannia represents one of the community’s most significant opportunities to shape how people live, work, and invest in Milton for generations.
Britannia is anticipated to welcome approximately 57,500 new residents and support the creation of more than 9,000 jobs. This growth translates into a larger and more diverse labour force, increases local spending power, and creates new demand for retail, services, community infrastructure, and employment uses while supporting the adjacent Derry Green Business Park.
Trafalgar Tertiary Plan
The approval of the Trafalgar Tertiary Plan is a critical next chapter in bringing the Trafalgar Secondary Plan to life and in turning long-term growth into real economic opportunity for Milton.
While the Secondary Plan sets the vision, the Tertiary Plan delivers the blueprint. It provides detailed guidance on land use, roads, servicing, and development patterns that enable projects to move forward. For economic development, this level of clarity reduces uncertainty, supports faster approvals, and gives investors and employers the confidence that Milton is ready for growth.
The Trafalgar area will accommodate more than 45,000 residents and more than 6,000 jobs, supported by approximately 128,000 square metres of employment space planned through to 2051.
