<p>I very much doubt that such a centralised or consolidated source exists. I do a substantial amount of work for both DALRRD and, currently, for COGTA, and I’ve never encountered anything of the sort.</p>
<p>In my view, there are several reasons for this:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Zoning data is highly dynamic</strong>, changing frequently as development applications are processed and planning decisions made. Responsibility for maintaining this data lies with individual local municipalities, which means that—at this stage—one would have to contact each municipality directly to access it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Many local municipalities face significant resource constraints.</strong> Budget limitations and institutional challenges often hinder their ability to establish or sustain functional GIS units, which are critical for managing spatial data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>In some municipalities, zoning and planning schemes still exist in non-digital formats,</strong> making it even more difficult to access or share the information consistently.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>That said, most of the large metropolitan municipalities do make their zoning data publicly available via web-based platforms. However, these metros are currently the exception rather than the norm in terms of GIS capability and open data access.</p>
