Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has received four separate resolutions requesting delegation, as follows:
-Township of Chamberlain: Resolution 2013-31 passed on March 5 2013, requests that the Minister withdraw its approval authority for consents in favour of delegating to the Planning Board;
-Township of Charlton and Dack: Motion No. 13-056 dated March 11, 2013, requests authority for subdivision/condominium and consents;
-Town of Englehart: Resolution COUI-13-03-06 dated March 13, 2013, requests authority for subdivision/condominiums and consents;
-Township of Evanturel: Resolution dated July 10, 2013, requests authority for consents and related approvals.

The majority of municipalities in Timiskaming District have been delegated Ministerial approval for consents. Those with up-to-date official plans have been delegated authority to approve plans of subdivision/condominium, and have been exempted from the Minister's approval for official plan amendments.

The first Official Plan for the Central Temiskaming Planning Board was approved on November 16, 2012 and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005. Each member municipality has passed a new zoning by-law to implement the Official Plan.

The Central Temiskaming Planning Board was formed in 2006 and enables four contiguous municipalities to work together on planning matters. The planning area is located along Highway 11 in Timiskaming District, approximately 2 hours north of North Bay, and has a combined population of 2,939 residents (2011 Census).

Section 4(2) of the Planning Act states that the Minister may, on the request of the planning board, delegate to the planning board any of the Minister?s authority (other than the Minister's authority to exempt an official plan from approval) under the Act.

Section 4(2.2) of the Planning Act states that the Minister may, delegate to the council any of the Minister?s authority (other than the Minister's authority to exempt an official plan from approval) under the Act if the planning board has an official plan.
