After getting reaction to the report of the Planning Act Review Committee, the government has now produced the White Paper outlining its position on revising the Act % * The main proposals are: o The province would place more emphasis on advice and assis- tance than on its current role of supervising and approving local planning decisions. 0 Municipalities, where appropriate, would be given autonomy to make planning decisions. This will apply to municipalities which have the resources and capabilities to handle increased planning responsibility o The public would have better access into the planning process Municipalities will have to extend public notification procedures to people who will be affected by planning decisions o To speed up the process, the Ontario Municipal Board would act only as an appeals body A copy of the White Paper has been made available to municipalities, planning boards and other interested groups.
