Comment
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed Bill 185, Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 (Bill 185): Newspaper Notice Requirements and Consequential Housekeeping Changes. The Town of Halton Hills’ comments are below and attached is the staff report:
The Town welcomes the proposed change to allow for notices on the municipal website, especially given the recent loss of the printed local newspaper. The Town has recently (pro-actively) completed an Official Plan Amendment which permits alternative notices for publicly initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications.
Given staff are fully supportive of the proposed changes, there are no recommendations to offer the Province. Staff will ensure our policies are updated to permit notices on the Town’s website as soon as Bill 185 is approved by the legislature.
