 OGA 2016 Coordinated Review Submission FINAL.pdf | 1.45 MB |
Sierra Club is an active member of the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance. When the Province's Land Use Planning Coordinated Review draft was published earlier this year it was quite a chore to analyse and respond to this lengthy document. In fact, the OGA's submission is 62 pages long! (Attached here as a PDF). Our submission contains 128 recommendations, focused on the 10 key priority areas of concern to our members. These 10 key areas include:
- Grow the Greenbelt
- Strengthen Natural Heritage Protection
- Keep Greenbelt Boundaries Strong
- Deal with Infrastructure and Aggregates
- Support Ontario’s Agricultural Sector
- Stop Sprawl & Build Smart and Complete Communities
- Protect The GGH’s Water Sources
- Address Climate Change
- Improve Plan Policy Definitions & Related Provincial Policies
- Overhaul Plan Implementation
Please read the OGA's attached comments. The Province's Plan is far-reaching and the weaknesses identified by these conservation groups will certainly be played out in land-use conflicts for years to come. Be prepared!
