Monterra Planning Consultants was founded in 2025, in Stratford, Ontario. Frustrated by one-size-fits-all processes and lengthy approval timelines, our Founder and Principal, Alicia Monteith envisioned a boutique firm built on collaboration, creativity, and a relentless focus on delivering value to homeowners and developers. Monterra Planning Consultants draws on over a decade of hands-on experience in the public and private sectors to forge a fresh, forward-thinking approach to land-use planning. More than just a consulting firm, Monterra Planning Consultants is driven to provide a space for everyone to feel comfortable engaging in the land development industry and is committed to community engagement, thoughtful discussion, and knowledge-sharing.
