  • Greenbelt Act Signals Further Erosion of Local Decision-Making
    MUNICIPAL WORLD, July 2005 PLANNING GREENBELT ACT SIGNALS FURTHER EROSION OF LOCAL DECISION-MAKING By: Shari Elliott and Marshall Green On February 24, 2005, the Government of Ontario passed the Greenbelt Act, 2005. The Act would apply to about 1.8 million acres in total including one million acres of newly protected land consisting of environmentally sensitive and agricultural land in the Golden Horseshoe. It will allow the provincial government to establish a Greenbelt Area, and a Greenbelt Plan to spell out land use policies within that area to protect against urban development and sprawl. Overview The Golden Horseshoe is one of the fast-growing regions in North America. While this growth will bring many economic benefits, it will also create significant challenges. This legislation is being enacted to assist the Golden Horseshoe’s growth to be planned, thoughtful and managed. The legislation aims to make sure that: the environment, including its water system, remains healthy and able to support both the people and wildlife; encourage growth in cities and towns outside the Greenbelt, while supporting vibrant rural communities in the Greenbelt; support agriculture; and provide outdoor recreational and leisure opportunities to the rapidly expanding population. The protection of the environment is proposed to be achieved by prohibiting new urban development on wetlands, forests and rivers in the Greenbelt. The tragedy that occurred with Walkerton’s water source has influenced this legislation with protection of water resources from development and contamination as a key goal. Focus is also on the preservation of shorelines and strengthening of the river valley connections with the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario.
