Proposal Number:
18-MMA001
Posting Date:
January 19, 2018
Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs is proposing a regulation under the Planning Act in order to delegate MMA subdivision file Nos. 57-T-94001, 54-T-89003, 54-T-86001 and 49-T-95001 and MMA condominium file No. 49-CD-95001 to the municipalities in which these files are located.

The applications to which these files relate were all received by MMA at a time when the Planning Act did not contain lapsing provisions. All the applications have been approved; however final approval is pending clearance of conditions. Due to the age of the files, they cannot be delegated without first receiving a request from the appropriate municipality. The four municipalities impacted all have been recently prescribed as the approval authority for plans of subdivision and condominium.

Details on the files and the respective municipalities are included in the following table:
