Update Downsview

View upcoming community engagement events and past meeting summaries, on the Community Engagement: Meetings & Events page.

The Update Downsview Study established a comprehensive planning framework for the Downsview area to help guide the development of resilient, sustainable and equitable complete communities over the next 30 years. Adopted by City Council in 2024, it includes the Downsview Secondary Plan, Community Development Plan, Urban Design Guidelines, Zoning By-law for Meanwhile Uses, and Master Environmental Servicing Plan.

The Downsview Secondary Plan is in force and effect as of August 9, 2024, except for those lands south of Wilson Avenue which are subject to appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT-24-000829).

The Master Environmental Servicing Plan has been updated in response to comments provided by the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism during the 30-day public review period (June 4, 2024 to July 4, 2024). In addition, Chapter 15 has been updated to include additional text assessing the sewer capacity of the Maryport sewers. Please refer to the Errata for further details.

The Update Downsview project is now in the next stage which involves the following project areas:

  • District Plans and associated development applications
  • Community Development Plan implementation
  • Major Streets Environment Assessment phases 3 & 4
  • Parks and Community Recreation Centre design
