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:

• A variety of housing exists for a wide range of people
• New housing is compatible with the existing houses
• Parks and other amenities are within walking distance of residents
• Point Douglas continues to develop as a walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented community

 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:

Building from work that's been done

We’re not starting the Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan from scratch. A lot of planning work and studies have been conducted in the neighbourhood in recent years. These plans were completed by the City and other groups.

We acknowledge that community leaders, stakeholders, and the public have contributed their knowledge, insights, and time to each of these projects. 

We will not re-do the same work already done. We will build on the important the work done as a starting point for this project.

We will engage with Point Douglas residents, community leaders, landowners, housing providers, and area stakeholders to create a vision for the long-term future of the neighbourhood.
