Wall Road Neighbourhood Plan - South Orléans Development

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities
Ottawa is planning a new neighbourhood on 260 hectares of land east of the city, extending the Portobello-South area. The Wall Road development will need to integrate with existing neighbourhoods. This planning process will shape how the community grows over time.

Why This Matters

Live in South Orléans or Portobello? This new development will be your neighbour. How it's designed affects traffic, schools, parks, and services in your area. Even if you don't live nearby, this shapes what kind of housing gets built in Ottawa's expanding suburbs.

What Could Change

The neighbourhood plan will determine land use, housing density, road layouts, and where parks and schools go. Once approved, developers can submit applications that follow this framework. Construction could begin within a few years of plan approval.

Key Issues

  • How should the new development integrate with existing Portobello-South neighbourhood?
  • What mix of housing types and densities should be planned?
  • How should roads, parks, and community services be laid out?
