About the Tremaine-Dundas (Evergreen) Secondary Plan
- The Evergreen Community consists of approximately 67 hectares of developable land located at the northwest corner of Tremaine Road and Dundas Street.
- The secondary plan work started in late 2011 based on a mixed-use development concept.
- The Tremaine Dundas Secondary Plan provides a planning framework that will guide future development in the Tremaine-Dundas area with a mix of residential and employment uses while ensuring that identified natural heritage features throughout the area are protected, connected/linked and, where possible, enhanced. The secondary plan provides a long-term vision for growth and sets out Official Plan policies and urban design guidelines for the area. It provides direction on future land uses, urban design, environmental/natural heritage features, transportation and infrastructure, parks and trails, land use compatibility, and phasing. The secondary plan will provide guidance to landowners, developers, and City staff with respect to future development proposals, natural heritage maintenance and enhancements, and future municipal infrastructure projects.
- The Tremaine-Dundas Secondary Plan was adopted by City Council on July 16, 2018. City Council passed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 107 on September 24, 2018 to incorporate the Tremaine-Dundas Secondary Plan into the City’s Official Plan (1997, as amended). OPA107 required approval by Halton Region before taking effect.
- Halton Region approved OPA107, with modifications, on May 30, 2019.
- The Region’s decision to approve OPA107 was appealed by a third party to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). This appeal was withdrawn in January 2021.
- The City’s new Official Plan (2020) includes policies that implement the Tremaine-Dundas Secondary Plan. For information on the new Official Plan and the status of appeals, visit www.burlington.ca/newop.
- The owner of the Evergreen lands has submitted an application for Zoning By-law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision to develop the Tremaine-Dundas Community, implementing the Secondary Plan. For more information, visit the City’s webpage about the Evergreen subdivision and rezoning applications.

| Why is the city preparing a secondary plan for the Evergreen area? |
|
The city does not have detailed land use plans for the Evergreen lands. A recent study was led by Halton Region to determine the specific land uses for this area. As a result, a Background and Options Report (PDF) was produced. Burlington City Council considered this analysis and directed staff to prepare a secondary plan that provides a mix of land uses.

A staff report was prepared by planning staff for the Committee of the Whole.
