Manitoba NDP government proposes raising objection threshold for municipal zoning changes.
Manitoba's NDP government has introduced legislation to raise the threshold for objections triggering hearings on municipal zoning changes. The proposal increases the required number of opposing residents from 25 to 300 in larger communities and to 100 or five percent of the population in smaller ones. Supporters, including the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, argue this will expedite development, reduce costs, and enhance municipal autonomy amid a backlog of hearings.
