This week’s issue
Building this week’s issue from the agendas.
Every planning hearing near your work, in one Monday email.
Rezonings, minor variances, severances and heritage items coming up in Oakville, Burlington and Toronto. Each one with its address, file number and hearing time, and a link to the town’s own page.
- Yellow means still to comeOnly the time of a hearing that hasn’t happened yet gets the highlight.
- Every item links to the townThe agenda item itself, one tap away. We never host copies of the town’s files.
- Blank means unknownIf the agenda doesn’t give the height or the decision, neither do we.
Made for the people who build, design and plan in the GTA.

Questions people ask first.
What does it cost?
The first three weeks are free and need no card. At the end we ask what it was worth to you.
How is this different from the town’s website?
Each town posts every committee in its own portal, one meeting at a time. ZoneDocket puts every planning item from every committee in one list, sorted by date, and adds the decision once the minutes are out.
Can I follow only some Toronto wards?
Yes. Pick Toronto and we’ll ask which wards you follow before your first issue.
How do I stop?
Reply “stop” to any issue. We stop within 10 business days, usually the same day, and delete your details if you ask.
Start with this Monday’s issue.
Three issues, free, no card. Tell us what you do and which towns you follow, and the first one comes from Zaki, a real person, on Monday.
