Masterplan

The ownership structure of the site allowed a master-planning approach to be undertaken. As a greenfield site, there is no requirement to work around existing land uses and make compromises — it offers the opportunity to get it right from the start.

Taking a masterplanning approach generates significant benefits including better traffic planning, allowing appropriate staging of development and infrastructure in a realistic timeframe, and developing a plan that will meet the future economic and community needs of the region.

The Edmonton Business and Industry Park masterplan has been created following input from industry stakeholders to ensure the site can cater for the region’s existing and emerging industry sectors.

The main elements of the masterplan include:

A medical services precinct including a 250-bed hospital (capable of expanding to 350 beds) and infrastructure for ancillary medical service providers
Two business & technology parks
Showrooms (homemaker centre) and tavern
Two district level sports fields and one district level informal park area tallying 7.5 hectares
A further 42 hectares of recreational space/open space
An industry precinct allowing for a range of uses
A vehicle showroom housing several motor dealerships
A produce market
Display facilities (bulky goods precinct).
