Challenge and
solution
Addressing the development approval process challenge.
The challenge
Across Canada, the development approvals process is a complicated and costly process due to the lack of transparency and consistent methods.
Each application requires the involvement of multiple departments and agencies, each with its own set of rules and regulations. This fragmentation creates a lack of standard methods and procedures, leading to inefficient efforts and increased costs for all stakeholders. With little transparency into the decision-making and evaluation process, applicants must use significant resources to navigate this process successfully.
The current state of inefficiency is no longer sustainable and must be urgently addressed to improve slow development and the national housing supply shortage.

Streamlined development approval process
The current development approvals system is complicated, with limited visibility into decision-making and evaluation process. The absence of transparency often leads to redundant efforts, which prolongs the entire process and increases the workload for everyone involved.
By streamlining and standardizing the process, One Ontario provides a more efficient, transparent, one window experience for everyone involved.
Structured, unified and queryable data
One Ontario consolidates fragmented data from multiple sources into a single, integrated platform. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual data collection and makes it faster and easier for government entities to access, query and analyze information.
A centralized and easily interpretable data repository empowers government entities to make faster and more accurate decisions regarding land use and development potential.
The unified database makes the data queryable, allowing users to input specific criteria and analyze various land-use scenarios.
Reduced environmental impacts
Without a data-driven approach, it is difficult for the government to achieve and measure sustainability targets like net-zero emissions. One Ontario’s comprehensive, digitized land data is necessary for monitoring and managing sustainability goals, facilitating informed decision-making and effective policy implementation.
LandLogic data insights streamline the approvals process
One Ontario uses LandLogic to provide aggregated, unified data from diverse sources in a queryable database. By structuring and harmonizing land data LandLogic provides jurisdictional clarity for developers while supporting authorities in making better development decisions.
