Garner West & Northwest Secondary Plans

The City of Niagara Falls is continuing its work on the Garner West and Northwest Secondary Plan Areas. Secondary Plans are land use policy documents that guide future development and become part of the City’s Official Plan.

This Public Information Meeting will be the second in a series of public consultation sessions planned over the course and development of these two Plan Areas.

  • Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2025
  • Time: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
  • Place: MacBain Community Centre, Rooms D/E, 7150 Montrose Road, Niagara Falls

This meeting will focus on potential land use options for each of the Plan Areas. Representatives from Planning, Building and Development and the consulting team working on behalf of the City, will be in attendance to engage with attendees in a drop-in format meeting. Information sheets and display boards will assist in dialogue on matters of interest to attendees.

The City is planning for significant growth over the next 30 years, and Secondary Plans, including Garner West and Northwest, will allow the City to comprehensively and efficiently plan for new communities. This includes examining such topics as subwatershed and natural environment planning, transportation planning, municipal servicing (water, wastewater and stormwater management), land use compatibility, and fiscal impacts.

Two options have been prepared for each Plan Area and are intended to illustrate a community structure, type and location of land uses and various examples of density and form associated with certain land use designations.

The options are intended to generate discussion and gather feedback for each of the Plan Areas. City planning staff will consider comments from all sources prior to refining a single, preferred land use plan.

The Secondary Plan is being carried out in accordance with current City policies and those of the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), and requirements of the Planning Act.
