Proposal details
Ontario is proposing changes to the legislatively-approved official plans of some of the province’s fastest-growing municipalities to address local needs while continuing to support the government’s goal of building at least 1.5 million new homes by 2031.
The proposed Get it Done Act, 2024, introduced on February 20, 2024, includes amendments to the Official Plan Adjustments Act, 2023.
Proposed amendments to the Official Plan Adjustments Act, 2023 would, if passed, update official plans in response to municipal feedback while protecting the Greenbelt, and safeguarding public health and safety.
The proposed amendments follow recent consultation with the affected municipalities, and where appropriate, respond to the feedback from these municipalities, which are the cities of Barrie, Belleville, Guelph, Hamilton, Ottawa, Peterborough, Wellington County and the regions of Halton, Peel, Waterloo and York. Modifications maintained through Bill 150 impacting these municipalities and the Region of Niagara would continue to apply.
