History
The Local Planning Policy Branch was created on April 1, 1972 within the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. It assumed some of the responsibilities of the former Community Planning Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs.
The branch was transferred to the Ministry of Housing in October, 1975 and became part of the Community Planning Wing. In 1981, it moved again, to the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. For a brief period in 1980-1981 it was known as the Local Planning Branch.
In 1985, with the division of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing into separate ministries, the Local Planning Policy Branch ceased to exist. It was replaced with the Office of Local Planning Policy within the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
