Master Plan

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) and Canada Lands Company are working collaboratively to realize the vision outlined in the Tunney’s Pasture Master Plan, which was endorsed by the community, and received the Urban Design Award from the Canadian Institute of Planners in 2015.

The 2014 Master Plan was approved by the National Capital Commission and is part of the City of Ottawa’s Official Plan. Founded on seven Guiding Principles, the plan's flexibility provides a roadmap for its implementation over the long term.

Key features of the Master Plan include:

  • a civic plaza at Tunney's Pasture’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station that serves as a retail hub for the community and an attractive gateway into Tunney’s Pasture
  • office space and workspaces
  • residential opportunities offering people the chance to live close to work
  • parks and open spaces for active community use and connection to the Ottawa River and parkway lands
  • a development strategy for lands along Parkdale Avenue that addresses uses, heights, and open-space connections
  • connectivity within the site and to surrounding neighbourhoods through:
    • an efficient street grid
    • pedestrian/cycling routes
    • community linkages
  • public spaces and amenities for broader community and employee use

About the Master Plan

A master plan is a high-level document that is not intended to be prescriptive, but to provide a roadmap for how to coordinate complex development projects.

As such, the 2014 Tunney’s Pasture Master Plan is meant to guide how Tunney’s Pasture could be organized to meet the Vision and Guiding Principles. Therefore, any of the images included in the Master Plan are not intended to show a final design for the site.

The studies conducted since then and the current, ongoing analysis are helping the team further refine how the Master Plan’s Guiding Principles will be implemented. While the images have evolved, they are still not considered final.

The project team looks forward to sharing more definitive renderings and images with the community as more concrete plans for implementation are developed with community input. Input will be sought on the work undertaken by Canada Lands Company on non-federal development blocks.
