Burlington development applications

The City of Burlington publishes its planning applications as Current Development Projects (City of Burlington). BurlingtonIQ reads it as published and groups the applications the source itself links — the same planning file, or the same site address — into a single project. Nothing is grouped by a similar name or a nearby location, and no figure is read out of a description.

Status is the municipality’s own word for each application, shown on every project page; the stage label is a plain reading of it. A project takes the stage of its least advanced application. Finished files are kept in the archive above, never presented as active.

Statuses are the City's own, as defined on its planning-process page: Pre-application (no complete application yet), Received, Under Review, On Hold, Appealed (to the Ontario Land Tribunal), Approved and Refused (by Council or the Tribunal).

Every project here is one the City itself lists as a current development project, with its own City project page; that selection is the City's, so each gets a page. Many items publish no file number, so their application type is unknown.

Only facts are taken from the City's project pages: the project name, ward, status, site address, file numbers and the date the City posted the page. No descriptions are copied and no unit counts are read from them.

Wards are the City's own ward for each project, under the ward boundaries in force before November 16, 2026.
