It's the legal framework that determines how land should be used, and in what form development should take place. In recent years, however, the provincial governments role in municipal planning has been changing. A committee established in 1975 took a close look at the Planning Act to see how it could be adapted to suit the changing needs of the municipalities as well as to make the procedures mOre efficient. After getting reaction to the report of the Planning Act Review Committee, the government has now produced the White Paper outlining its position on revising the Act. Land. Ontario has over one million square kilometres of it. It's important to all of us that every kilometre is put to the best possible use, now and in the future. Under the present Act, munio palities wishing to pass bylaws relating to the use of land go to the Ontario Municipal Board for provincial approval. We’ve taken a new look at Ontario’s Planning Act.

June 13. 1979 â€" A-7 The main proposals are: ' o The province would place more emphasis on advice and assis- tance than on its current role of supervising and approving local planning decisions. :1 Municipalities, where appropriate, would be given autonomy to make planning decisionsThis will apply to municipalities which have the resOurces and capabilities to handle increased planning responsibility a The public would have better access into the planning process. Municipalities will have to extend public notification procedures to peOple who will be affected by planning decisions. b To speed up the process, l the Ontario Municipal Board would act only as an appeals body l A copy of the White Paper has been made available to municipalities, planning boards and other interested groups.
