As required by the Planning Act, a municipality will revise its Official Plan every five years to ensure that it conforms to provincial plans; takes into account matters of provincial interest; and is consistent with policy statements issued under the Act.
Since the last review of the Peel Region Official Plan, which was initiated in 2002, the Government of Ontario has released three documents that the Official Plan must also conform to: Places to Grow Act, 2006; the Greenbelt Plan, 2005; and the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005.
The Region of Peel is currently working to bring its Official Plan policies into conformity with provincial requirements, and in particular, the Places to Grow Act and by extension, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
