The Ontario government unveiled a series of new measures aimed at tackling the province’s housing supply shortage and affordability crisis on Tuesday, including plans to cut development costs and to allow property owners to build up to three residential units on a single lot without a bylaw amendment.

The government provided details on the new legislation, which largely targets red tape and municipal zoning laws that stall housing construction, this week.

“The legislation supports our new plan to further reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies that delay construction and increase costs for homebuyers and renters,” Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing of Ontario Steve Clark told reporters on Oct. 25. “It also supports greater density near transit, as well as measures to protect and help homebuyers and also use provincial lands as sites more for attainable housing.”
