and a local main street. Long-term discussions around bypass options aim to reduce through-traffic while supporting intensified, pedestrian-friendly development within urban areas. HOUSING, DENSITY, AND AGRICULTURAL STEWARDSHIP Meeting provincial housing targets while preserving prime agricultural land is one of Centre Wellington’s most complex challenges—and one it is addressing through thoughtful intensification. Rather than outward sprawl, council has directed staff to pursue higher-density development within defined urban boundaries, ensuring growth supports a complete community without sacrificing farmland. Developer interest remains strong, reflecting the township’s desirability and long-term confidence in its planning framework. Urban boundary discussions are ongoing at the provincial level, with employment lands receiving particular attention to ensure Centre Wellington remains a place where people can both live and work. 147 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 07, ISSUE 01 CENTRE WELLINGTON, ON
