Key topics include a brief review of the GMS process, implications of the initial census release, and an overview of the Directions Report.

Notably, initial census data indicate GGH population growth is on target, while housing forecasts exhibit slight variances, particularly within the outer ring, necessitating further analysis and consultation.
