  • Targeted growth areas
  • Growth and diversification of employment
  • Environmental mapping
  • Land use changes and alignment approvals

  • Re-evaluating proposed amendments mandating below ground car parking
  • Considering the impact of proposed site cover and set back provision changes
  • Considering the proposed reduction in building heights in the light rail corridor
  • Developing an economic assessment and development feasibility analysis on the impact of proposed provisions
  • Continuing to develop amendments to proposed greenfield investigation areas
