Georgetown GO Station Protected Major Transit Station Area

The Town of Halton Hills is holding a Special Meeting of Council under Section 26 of the Planning Act to inform the public about the Town’s intent to establish a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) around the Georgetown GO Station.

A PMTSA is an area planned for higher‑density, mixed‑use development near major transit stations. In this case, the PMTSA would apply within the Georgetown GO Station / Mill Street Corridor Secondary Plan study area (view study area map) and would guide future land use, building types, and minimum density requirements near the station.

The meeting will be livestreamed, and members of the public may attend either in person or online. Please note that while the meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., earlier agenda items may affect the start time. Residents are encouraged to check the Council agenda in advance.

The purpose of this Section 26 Special Meeting of Council:

• Discuss potential revisions to the Georgetown GO Station Area / Mill Street Corridor Secondary Plan.
