Abstract

This Planning Act sets out the ground rules for land use planning in Ontario and describes how land uses may be controlled, and who may control them. In particular, the Act aims to: 1) promote sustainable economic development in a healthy natural environment within a provincial policy framework; 2) provide for a land use planning system led by provincial policy; 3) integrate matters of provincial interest into provincial and municipal planning decisions by requiring that all decisions shall be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement when decision-makers exercise planning authority or provide advice on planning matters; 4) provide for planning processes that are fair by making them open, accessible, timely and efficient; 5) encourage co-operation and coordination among various interests; 6) recognize the decision-making authority and accountability of municipal councils in planning.
