Not even a decade ago one needed to hire a consultant to figure out what zoning or official plan policy designation applied for a particular property. Today, the public has direct access to municipal websites to find this out unassisted. Municipalities are also providing information online to show the status of development applications.

The session will consider the benefits of easily available data and the implications for the role of planning consultants.
