What is a Precinct Plan?
• By 2031, The City of Winnipeg is expected to grow by more
than 180,000 people.
• The impact of this growth means that new communities need
to be complete from the outset and provide long term
sustainability.
• A Precinct Plan is a document created to achieve this – it
embodies several key directions and an inclusive process
that leads to thoughtful and well designed communities.
• A Precinct plan includes policies and maps that illustrate and
define how the area will grow in terms of land uses,
infrastructure, recreation and neighbourhood connections.
