November 1, 2023 News Release: City of Brampton appoints Director of Municipal Transition and Integration to prepare for independence from Peel Region


What does dissolution mean for Brampton?

While discussions with the province and Regional partners on the division of services like police, paramedics and waste management continue, the most pressing concern is over a lack of servicing to support a rapidly growing city.

Brampton needs that infrastructure to meet our target of building 113,000 homes over the next 10 years.

Brampton has been approving, on average, over 8,000 new residential building applications a year since 2020 and more people are calling Brampton home with 90% of the net population growth in Peel Region during the last census (2016-2021) happening in Brampton. 

Since the creation of the Region of Peel in 1974, Brampton has made significant contributions to infrastructure in Mississauga as their city grew to its borders during the past 30 years. Now that Brampton is the city in need of vital infrastructure, those investments must be recognized and reconciled.

On June 6, 2023, Mayor Brown, Regional Councillor and Chair of Planning Palleschi, and Regional Councillor Toor held at press conference to detail concerns over 10 significant development applications for new housing and well-paying jobs that are delayed due to lack of services the Region is responsible to deliver. Click Here to view the press release.

The total number of housing units the seven residential projects highlighted would create is 9,368 representing 83% of Brampton’s annual targets set forth by the province.

The three delayed industrial projects represent nearly 5.2 million square feet of new industrial build, which would bring hundreds, if not thousands of well-paying jobs to Brampton.
