HomePreparation of the Capital Urban Lands Master Plan
In view of the strategic and symbolic importance of the Capital Urban Lands, the NCC has undertaken the preparation of the “Capital Urban Lands Master Plan”. The purpose of this Master Plan is to define a vision, strategic orientations, guidelines and development proposals for Capital Urban Lands in order to enhance their contribution to the experience and unique living environment of Canada’s Capital.
Designed to be reviewed on a ten-year cycle, the Master Plan is intended to be a visionary and inspiring document with a 50-year horizon, while serving as a practical tool to support everyday decisions of the NCC and other federal departments.
The Capital Urban Lands Master Plan will be completed in two phases, namely:
- Phase 1 (present to fall 2009) will provide a vision statement and a concept plan based on an exhaustive descriptive assessment of Capital Urban Lands;
- Phase 2 (fall 2009 to fall 2011) will incorporate policy statements, guidelines and development proposals for each sector within the Capital Urban Lands (with the exception of the Capital Core Area for which a sector plan was approved in 2005).

Throughout the planning process, the general public and the NCC’s federal, provincial and municipal partners will have an opportunity to present their comments and proposals on the future of the Capital Urban Lands. Click here for more information on how to participate.
