What happened
Provincial orders were issued permitting 138 new homes, a long-term-care facility, and a retirement home on Millcroft Golf Club in Burlington. These orders overruled the City of Burlington’s opposition to further housing development on the site. The plan includes 73 detached houses and 65 townhouse units on 25 acres, while preserving 75 acres of the existing golf course as open space.

Why it matters
The provincial orders supersede City of Burlington planning policies and existing zoning bylaws. This allows for significant residential and commercial construction on the golf course land. The decision removes municipal site plan control for the second phase of the project.
