Landscape architects are regulated, accountable professionals who routinely prepare core parts of planning application submissions; they should be treated as qualified authorities under the “complete application” framework. If they’re excluded, it risks creating unnecessary duplication, delays, added costs, and unclear accountability in the approvals process.
In response to removing enhanced development standards, while OALA supports Ontario’s goal of accelerating housing delivery, Bill 98’s proposed limits on development standards and removal of “sustainable design” from site plan control would weaken municipalities’ ability to require basic climate-resilient, health- and safety-related site measures (e.g., stormwater, canopy/shade, permeable surfaces), ultimately increasing long-term costs and risks while undermining effective, coordinated planning.
