Other Information

The Parkway Belt West Plan is a provincial development plan created in 1978 that provides for development of a multipurpose infrastructure corridor, urban separator and linked open space system across the Greater Toronto Area. The process to amend the Parkway Belt West Plan is provided in the Ontario Planning and Development Act, 1994.

The Minister Zoning Order, filed as Ontario Regulation 474/73, was made in 1973 to implement the Parkway Belt West Plan. The Zoning Order generally only permits low impact land uses including agricultural uses, and accessory buildings, and structures that will be used for agricultural operations. Section 47(8) of the Planning Act allows the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to amend or revoke a Minister’s Zoning Order.
