I found this web page that has a good overview of how land use planning occurs in Ontario. It has links to all the relevant Acts and policy, so it is useful to bookmark.

That’s an excellent reference for the overall picture, Bill. Another interesting page is http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page167.aspx [no longer found online]. The full text of these “Innovative Municipal Land Use Planning Practices” is to be found by scrolling down to the bottom of that page, organized under four topics:
1. Municipal Approvals
2. Municipal Alternative Review Models
3. Planning Service Working with the One Window Provincial
4. Other Ideas and Approaches
