Peel 2051 Official Plan Review
Bill 23 and Bill 185 Implications on the Region of Peel Official Plan
On July 1, 2024, under the Planning Act, Peel Region was designated an “upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities.” Consequently, the Cities of Brampton and Mississauga and the Town of Caledon are now responsible and have approval authority for local and regional official plans and development applications. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority for certain official plan reviews and amendments.
What is the Regional Official Plan Review?
The most recent Region of Peel Official Plan (RPOP) Review was referred to as Peel 2051. It started on May 23, 2013, with a public meeting. The Regional Official Plan Review process:
- Incorporated new provincial legislation, regulations and policies.
- Implemented new regional policy initiatives and plans.
- Facilitated a meaningful community engagement process.
- Guided growth and development within Peel Region to the year 2051.
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved the new RPOP, with modifications, on November 4, 2022. The approved RPOP, as modified, and more information on its current status can be found on the Download the Peel Regional Official Plan page.
What is the Municipal Comprehensive Review?
A Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) is a process required to ensure that official plans conform with provincial plans and policies. An MCR results in a new official plan or official plan amendment which is submitted to the Province for approval.
