Ontario Municipal Board / Planning Reform

The Government of Ontario has a vision for Ontario’s communities.  Reforming Ontario’s land-use planning system is an integral part of the McGuinty government’s commitment to make them stronger, more liveable and more sustainable.  A better planning system will help reduce urban sprawl, preserve greenspace, protect important natural resources and build better communities where people want to live, work and invest. 

The McGuinty government is promoting the growth of stronger communities through proposed legislation that would reform Ontario’s land-use planning system and clarify the role of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
