This will apply to municipalities which have the resources and capabilities to handle increased planning responsibility. ri The public would have better access into the planning process. Municipalities will have to extend public notification procedures to people who will be affected by planning decisions. o To speed up the process, the Ontario Municipal Board would act only as an appeals body.
