Bayfront Industrial Area Strategy
Consultation has concluded
The Bayfront Strategy is a 45+ year vision and action plan that seeks to encourage efficient use of land, attract growth and investment, and improve the environmental conditions and image of the City’s largest and oldest industrial area for a future of continuing productivity.
The Bayfront Strategy is the second phase of a three-phased project:
Through Phase II we have engaged with various stakeholder groups to gain input towards:
- Understanding the rich history and current opportunities and issues that exist in the Bayfront Industrial Area;
- Developing a long-term vision and planning framework;
- Outlining a series of actions and next steps for implementing changes working towards the established vision; and,
- Urban Design Guidelines to assist private sector businesses, residential landowners, and government in improving the overall aesthetic look and feel of the area and its function.
The evolution of The Bayfront Industrial Area is rich and diverse, covering thousands of years. To find out more about the Bayfront Industrial Area’s story click here for a visual story through maps.

Based on several rounds of engagement we have developed a Draft Bayfront Industrial Area Strategy with an accompanying Bayfront Industrial Area Urban Design Guidelines.
We want to hear what you think!
Through the month of April we will make our draft documents available in full format for public consumption and commenting before finalizing and bringing them forward to General Issues Committee and Council.
