South Westminster Plan
A New Plan for South Westminster
We’re creating a new plan for South Westminster. The plan aims to build on the areas proximity to the port, major roads and transit, while taking into consideration development challenges, such as the areas soil conditions, flooding and site contamination. We started the process in Fall 2022 with an online survey to explore plan priorities and growth options for South Westminster. In January 2023, we hosted an industry focused workshop to build on the findings of the public survey. In September 2024, we collected feedback on the draft plan through an online survey. This input will help in further refining the future vision for South Westminster.
