Whenever a provincial department's permission or authorization is required, the Community Planning Act stipulates that a permit can only be issued after the development officer has verified that the project meets the requirements of all other government-prescribed regulations (sec. 81). This means that the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries, the Department of Environment and Local Government, the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Department of Natural Resources and other departments may be required to provide authorization before a building or development permit may be issued.
