The Wilmot Creek Neighbourhood Secondary Plan will develop an environmentally sustainable and healthy community with livable neighbourhoods, integrated and connected green spaces, efficient transportation and trail systems, and a vibrant commercial area. It is intended that the Secondary Plan Area will be a safe and inclusive pedestrian-oriented community that supports walkability and active living with accessible amenities. The Wilmot Creek Neighbourhood Secondary Plan and Sustainable Development Guidelines do not apply to the existing Wilmot Creek Adult Lifestyle Community.
