Under the planning system in Ontario, who usually initiates the preparation of an official plan?

  1. The local municipal council.

  2. The provincial government.

  3. The federal government.

  4. A regional planning authority.

  5. A private development company.

  6. A citizen’s advisory board.

The correct answer is: The local municipal council.

In Ontario, the responsibility for creating an official plan falls under the jurisdiction of the local municipal council. This is because the local municipal council is the governing body that is responsible for making land use decisions and policies within their municipality. The provincial government, federal government, regional planning authority, private development company, and citizen's advisory board do not have direct authority over land use planning in a specific municipality. While they may play a role in the planning process, the local municipal council is ultimately responsible for creating and implementing the official plan. Choosing any of the other options would not accurately reflect the hierarchical structure of the planning system in Ontario.
