Bill 23/185 Implications on the Region of Peel Official Plan
As per Ontario Bill 23 (More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022) and Bill 185 (Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024), the Region of Peel Official Plan (RPOP), as of July 1, 2024, will be deemed to constitute an official plan of Peel’s lower-tier municipalities of Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga. For more information on the status of the RPOP, refer to Download the Official Plan.
Following our review of Provincial plans, legislation, policy direction and Regional strategies, we identified other supporting policy and mapping updates.
These other focus areas – waste management, cultural heritage, and Indigenous engagement – required changes to Region of Peel Official Plan policies to stay consistent and conform to Provincial plans and legislation. The rural settlement area boundary refinement process is being completed to inform and support updated mapping in the new Regional Official Plan.
The Region worked with the Town of Caledon to review and confirm, where appropriate, the boundaries of minor urban centres, hamlets and villages identified in the Regional and Town Official Plans. This work helped inform ongoing studies as part of the Peel 2051 process and provided a basis for updated mapping of rural settlement area boundaries in the Regional and Town Official Plans.

Waste management policies are in place to provide cost-effective, environmentally responsible waste management services to Peel’s residents, eligible small businesses and municipal and institutional facilities.
Waste management policies in the Regional Official Plan reflect regional strategies, provincial waste legislation and policies including the Waste Free Ontario Act and Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act.
Policy outcomes will include:
- Providing cost-effective, efficient, environmentally responsible waste management services.
- Conforming to the Roadmap to a Circular Economy – the Region’s long-term waste management strategy – and provincial direction to design and deliver waste management services that reduce the negative impacts of waste.

Cultural heritage resources and archaeological resources are non-renewable. They provide an important link to Peel’s history and culture.
Indigenous peoples have a unique relationship with the land and its resources. We updated the Official Plan to better recognize their heritage, treaty rights and unique relationship to Peel’s land and resources.
Due to updated Provincial policy direction identified through the Growth Plan, 2019 and PPS, 2020, policy outcomes of Peel 2051 include:
- Updating and adding various definitions related to cultural heritage policies, such as built heritage resources and areas of archaeological potential.
- Conserving and promoting cultural heritage and archaeological resources to support the wellbeing of all communities, including Indigenous communities.
- Improving connections in policy between Indigenous communities, cultural heritage and archaeological resources.
- Strengthening engagement and coordination policies.
