Who must adhere to the Planning Act?

Real estate agents.
Surveyors.
Municipalities and planners.
Property appraisers.
Lawyers.
Home inspectors.

The correct answer is: Municipalities and planners.

The Planning Act is a key piece of legislation that outlines how land use planning is to be conducted in Ontario. Its primary purpose is to provide a framework for land use planning at the provincial and municipal levels, ensuring that development occurs in a way that promotes sustainable growth, environmental protection, and community well-being. Municipalities and planners are directly responsible for adhering to the Planning Act because they are the ones who implement its provisions through zoning bylaws, official plans, and other regulatory measures. They play a crucial role in evaluating land use proposals, facilitating public consultation, and ensuring compliance with provincial policies. While other professionals in the real estate sector, such as real estate agents or lawyers, may need to be aware of the implications of the Planning Act in their work, it is specifically the municipalities and planners who must operate within the guidelines laid out in this legislation to effectively manage land use and development in their jurisdiction.
