New! Development Applications – Have Your Say
The City has launched a new way for residents to provide comments on development applications.

Development applications submitted to the City after January 1, 2023 are now posted on our new Have Your Say – Development Applications site. The site provides:

  • A list of complete, active applications by Ward and address.
  • A site map, rendering and description for each active application and the detailed project documents staff will review before making a recommendation on the application.
  • Contact information for the planner responsible for the development application and an email address for submitting comments.

The new Have Your Say – Development Applications site allows residents to review application materials and provide feedback early on in the process – at the same time City staff are undertaking their review. Comments received will inform the Recommendation Report that is prepared and submitted to City Council.

This new site will help Mississauga ensure community engagement remains an important part of our development application review process while meeting new approval timelines set out by the province in Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act.

Reminder!
