Development Approvals Roundtable Action Plan

November 30, 2017

Recognizing the social and economic importance of a good supply of housing, Ontario introduced a 16 point plan to make housing more affordable for homebuyers and renters.

As part of the plan, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MMA), in partnership with other ministries involved in the residential development approval process, convened a Development Approvals Roundtable chaired by the Secretary of Cabinet, and vice-chaired by the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Ministry of Housing. The Roundtable includes provincial Deputy Ministers, senior municipal officials, and representatives from the development, construction and real estate industries. The objective of the Roundtable is to identify opportunities to streamline the development approval process to ensure there are not undue delays in bringing new housing supply to market, while maintaining the intent of policy and legislative requirements.
