The Plans Administration Branch was created in 1972 within the new Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs, assuming responsibilities of the former Community Planning Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs.
In 1973 the branch was transferred to the new Ministry of Housing. In 1974, it became known as the Plans Administration Division, and contained several other branches, including the Official Plans Branch, the Subdivision Branch, The Field Offices Branch, the Community Sponsored Housing Branch and the Field Offices Branch. In July 1975, the Division was restructed and afterwards contained only the Official Plans Branch, the Subdivision Branch and the Operations Control Branch.
The Plans Administration Division became part of the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 1981. In 1983, it became known again as the Plans Administration Branch, as part of the Community Planning Programs Division.
The Plans Administration Branch moved to the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs in 1985.
