Supporting Municipal Partners

The Ontario government announced a series of measures to Support Municipal Partners in Building More Homes while Protecting Taxpayers.

These include:

Providing immediate clarity to residents and taxpayers of Peel, as well as the police, paramedics, and frontline workers who serve them, by introducing legislation that would, if passed, mean the Region will not be dissolved and these essential shared services and jobs of those who deliver them are secure, and that would recalibrate the mandate of the transition board to focus on options to enhance the self-determination of local governments to support building more homes faster and improve local service delivery;
Consulting on proposed revocations, amendments and monitoring of existing minister’s zoning orders as part of a new “use it or lose it” approach to support improved municipal planning and resourcing while holding builders to account;
Providing clarity about the application of development-related charge exemptions for attainable housing to support improved municipal budgetary planning; and
Consulting on development-related charges and fee refund frameworks to support municipalities with sustainably building more homes faster.
