Caledon Official Plan Amendment added to list of changes that require provincial approval

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

A new subsection has been added to the regulation removing the automatic exemption from provincial approval for a specific Town of Caledon Official Plan amendment (file number POPA 2026-0006). This means that amendment cannot proceed without the Minister's approval, unlike most Official Plan amendments made by municipalities listed in the regulation. The heading for this section has also been broadened from 'Removal of exemption, Toronto' to 'Removal of exemption' to reflect that it now covers more than one municipality. The City of Toronto amendments previously listed remain subject to the same removal of exemption. Municipalities and landowners with interests tied to the Caledon amendment should be aware that provincial sign-off is now required before it can take effect.
