12. Ontario Municipal Board
The OMB is an independent tribunal responsible for hearing appeals and deciding on land use planning matters under the Planning Act. The OMB has the authority to approve, change, or refuse planning applications and it’s decisions take the place of decisions made by Council.
There have been recent legislative changes to the OMB. These changes replace the OMB with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). Regulations outlining this transition have just recently been released.
The important thing to note is that, whether OMB or LPAT, you must participate in the planning process in order to lodge an appeal or participate in a Hearing.
Anyone who has sent in comments, spoken at a CDC or Council meeting, or asked to be kept informed about a proposal, receives a notice of the Council’s decision.
The notice includes information on how to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, if necessary.
