Riley Communities Local Area Plan
The Riley Communities Local Area Plan (the Plan) guides future growth and change in several communities. These communities include Sunnyside, Hillhurst, West Hillhurst and Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill.
The Plan was approved by Council on March 4, 2025. This followed over two years of engagement with youth, seniors, residents, business owners, community association and development industry representatives and a diverse working group. Feedback from participants helped shape and refine the Plan.
The Plan sets out a comprehensive vision for the Riley Communities alongside policies to guide new development and investment for the coming decades as it pertains to land use matters, mobility and sustainable growth.
