As of June 6, 2024, Provincial Bill 185 became law. Bill 185 removed appeal rights, specifically the rights of neighbours, individuals, companies, and ratepayer groups. This implies that the only option for neighbours to make their case about a development proposal is before Council. In accordance with Sections 22(7) and 34(19) of the Planning Act, an appeal may only be filed by the applicant, the registered owner, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, or a specified person or public body that has interest in the matter.
