Summary of Proposal:
The Public Lands Act provides for the creation and management of restricted areas by the Minister of Natural Resources in areas of the province without municipal organization. In a restricted area, permits from MNR are required for the erection of buildings or structures, whether the work is on Crown or private lands. Activities that require a permit from MNR are identified in the development plan or guidelines that are prepared for each restricted area. The seven restricted areas in Ontario were described in seven separate regulations. The proposal is to consolidate these seven regulations into one regulation. No changes would be made to the wording of the original regulations during the consolidation. There will be no impact on how the restricted areas are managed.
