Description
Suitable sites for large, industrial-scale renewable energy production in the region must be identified and planned for, to ensure that those sites are both available and accessible to meet future local energy production needs.
This action will be led by the Region of Waterloo, in consultation with the Area Municipalities and local utilities. There is no publicly available update at this time.
REGION OF WATERLOO
Through the adoption of Bill 23, More Homes Build Faster Act, the Region of Waterloo no longer has land use planning authority; this responsibility now rests solely with the area municipalities and townships. While the Region no longer directs local planning, it continues to support these goals through broader strategic initiatives.
