Malone Given Parsons Ltd. (“MGP”) is a planning and land economist consulting firm. We have extensive experience implementing land needs methodologies issued by the Province, including the Projection Methodology Guideline, 1995, and the iterations of the Land Needs Assessment Methodology for the Greater Golden Horseshoe issued under the now rescinded Growth Plan.

We are writing to provide our comments on the proposed updates to the Projection Methodology Guideline (PMG) to implement the PPS 2024. We undertake land needs assessments throughout southern Ontario and make our comments in this general context, understanding that the PMG must apply in a variety of circumstances. These comments are also made on behalf of a number of our clients, including the New Tecumseth Community Builders Inc., who own significant land holdings south of Alliston, in the Town of New Tecumseth.

The attached letter provides our comments on the draft PMG.
