Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan

We are developing a neighbourhood plan, also known as a secondary plan, to guide future development in Point Douglas.

Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan Area

The Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan includes both North and South Point Douglas. The plan area is bounded by:

• Redwood Avenue to the north;
• The Red River to the east;
• The Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line and the Red River to the south; and
•  Main Street to the west (excluding the lands that front directly along Main Street).

 Purpose of the neighbourhood plan

The Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan will help guide future land use and development in the area. It will ensure that:

The goal is to build upon the strengths and assets already present in Point Douglas. At the same time, it aims to encourage redevelopment and attract investment to the area where it makes sense. For example, the plan will consider ways to add new amenities to Point Douglas while preserving existing features like its canopy of mature trees.

What's included in the plan?

The neighbourhood plan will include rules about where new buildings can be built and what they should look like. It will identify:

Guiding policy framework

Planning policy forms a hierarchy. The Neighbourhood Plan, also known as a secondary plan, must conform with higher level planning policies such as OurWinnipeg 2045. All future development applications will need to conform with the Neighbourhood Plan.

OurWinnipeg 2045 policy areas

OurWinnipeg 2045 designates land into policy areas. Two designations apply to the Neighbourhood Plan Area:

• Mature Community
• Major Redevelopment Site

Major Redevelopment Sites cannot be rezoned to allow other land uses without a neighbourhood plan.

Current land use

Most land uses in North Point Douglas are residential, with some commercial. There are also many institutional uses (e.g. schools, churches), parks, and greenspaces. In South Point Douglas, most land uses are industrial.

Future land use

There are three policy areas proposed as part of the draft neighbourhood plan:

• Infill area
• Mid-rise mixed-use area
• Higher-rise mixed-use area
