# Official plans
Local municipalities are land use planning authorities responsible for local and regional official plans.
## Changes to Peel Region's role in land use planning
On July 1, 2024, under the *Planning Act*, Peel Region was designated an "upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities."
Consequently:
* The Cities of Brampton and Mississauga and the Town of Caledon are the land use planning authorities responsible for local and regional official plans and development applications.
* The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority for certain official plan reviews and amendments
## Official plans
Regional Council adopted the Region of Peel Official Plan (RPOP) on April 28, 2022.
The Plan was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing with 44 modifications on November 4, 2022, and later updated through amendments from Bill 162, the *Get It Done Act*, 2024.
For more details, refer to the Notice of Decision and Appendix I of the June 13, 2024 report to Regional Council.
As of July 1, 2024, Peel's local municipalities -- the City of Brampton, Town of Caledon and City of Mississauga -- are responsible for the RPOP.
