She has worked with numerous urban and rural municipalities, planning districts, developers, and government departments providing planning and policy advice to elected officials, applicants, and members of the public on a wide variety of land use planning and policy projects. Meagan has written, coordinated, and managed the review and adoption of numerous municipal development plans, secondary plans, and zoning by-laws. She has led the development, coordination, and evaluation of concept and subdivision plans, major development proposals, and managed many subdivision and zoning applications through municipal and provincial approval processes.
