Master Plan – General Overview

• Draft plan is a Technical Report – identifies facility

requirements based on standards (quantitative)

• Currently undertaking public consultation to identify

community objectives and desires (qualitative)

• Final plan will merge both quantitative and qualitative

measures

• Final plan requires Council approval and will be referred

to the 10-year capital forecast to address affordability

South Central Public Lands Study

Draft Master Plan: Key Recommendations

The Technical Report recommends:

• A 30,000 sf community centre in South Central Oakville

(community rooms, senior and youth space, gymnasium).

• Oakville Arena is past its functional lifespan and its

rehabilitation or expansion is not recommended. This arena should not be replaced on site. Alternative uses may be considered through the South Central Public Lands Study.

South Central Public Lands Study

Draft Master Plan: Key Recommendations

The Technical Report recommends:

• Additional space for seniors at the Oakville Senior

Citizens’ Recreation Centre (Kerr Street) or other facility in the area.

• The age, location, and design of Centennial Pool create

barriers for some users and limit its long-term

• sustainability. The long-term use of the pool and the

adjacent Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts are to be assessed through future study. Should the Centennial Pool be re-purposed to other uses, it is not recommended for replacement at this location.
