Mississauga Green Development Standards Update

Buildings in Mississauga are responsible for roughly 50% of greenhouse gas emissions, but we can reduce these emissions through building and site design.

The City of Mississauga's Green Development Standard (GDS) has been the tool through which the Planning and Building Department promotes environmentally friendly development through the Site Plan process. The GDS is being updated as per action 3.1 in the Climate Change Action Plan.

What's next?

Staff will be presenting a report to Mississauga’s Planning and Development Committee on April 8, 2024. The public notice can be found here.

This is an important step towards achieving a greener, more sustainable future for our City.


Stay informed

We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process. Be sure to keep an eye on our website for updates and news regarding our progress, or subscribe to the project at the top of the page. Your involvement was valued, and we look forward to sharing the final draft GDS metrics with you this winter. If you wish to mail your comments, please send them to:
