Landwise is submitting comments in response to Bill 162 on behalf of Tribute (Fergus Oaks) Limited (“Tribute Communities”) regarding the Settlement Area Boundary Expansion review occurring within the County of Wellington. This submission is to highlight concerns arising from the Land Needs Assessment conducted by the County of Wellington to inform their SABE process and to seek means to revisit the process with population projections that reflect recent changes to federal immigration targets and migration trends within the province.

Although the subject lands were brought into the urban boundary through OPA 119 by Minister Decision on April 11, 2023, and subsequently removed through Bill 150, Landwise acknowledges that Bill 162 does not bring these lands back into the urban boundary. However, our position is that the subject lands should be considered as part of the longer-term growth management process for the County.

Please refer to the submitted documentation attached.
