Canadian Municipal Context
Planning and development permitting in Canadian municipalities operates under provincial planning legislation - the Planning Act in Ontario, the Local Government Act in BC, the Municipal Government Act in Alberta. Workflow design must reflect provincial approval stages, public hearing requirements, and appeal processes. These are not generic permit workflows - they are legislated processes with defined timelines.
Operational results in planning
Referral reliability
Departmental reviews are tracked by deadline and status - not chased.
Condition clarity
Conditions are attached to the approval record and tracked to compliance.
Applicant experience
Status, documents, and conditions accessible online.
Reporting
Development pipeline, approval timelines, and outstanding conditions reportable on demand.
Planning and development approval often precedes building permit issuance. When both workflows are in the same system, the approval conditions and approved plans flow into the building permit without re-entry.
