The purpose of the Wellsford Structure Plan (adopted March 2000) is to:
- Define a vision for future growth and development of the Wellsford urban area.
- Provide an overall physical framework for urban growth.
- Provide a guideline for the integration of physical components (e.g. land use, engineering services, roads) in the future.
- Provide a basis for coordinating and programming projects and budgets, thereby serving as a downstream management tool.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Structure Plan is a non-statutory policy plan, the post-planning objective is to, over time, transfer the Plan's proposals into statutory status by carrying these forward into the District Plan, component strategic development plans, Annual Plan, etc.
