Cumbersome red tape is one of the biggest barriers to getting shovels in the ground and the legislation takes significant action to streamline approvals and increase housing and infrastructure development across Ontario, states a release. Ontario has exempted publicly assisted universities from the Planning Act to enable the institutions to build more student housing faster and better meet the needs of their student populations. The universities, like publicly assisted colleges, are no longer subject to many municipal planning approvals, which can save years in approvals, avoid planning application fees, and remove barriers to building higher density student residences, the release adds.
