Pursuant the Planning Act, section 17 (24.1.3) the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing may appeal the decision of Council in respect of official plan policies that authorize Inclusionary Zoning.

Persons who may otherwise have an ability to appeal an adoption of an official plan amendment are limited to persons listed in subsection 17(24) of the Planning Act.

The last day for filing a notice of appeal is June 15, 2026.
