PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE - Aspendale Area Structure Plan Bylaw 2025-12

TAKE NOTICE THAT pursuant to the Municipal Government Act, as amended, the Council of the Town of Westlock proposes to adopt an Area Structure Plan for a portion of the Aspendale neighbourhood.

The purpose of this Area Structure Plan (ASP) is to provide details on proposed land uses, transportation networks, servicing, trails, and park spaces within the remainder of the Aspendale neighbourhood. Future applications for rezoning, subdivision, and development within the plan area will be required to align with the proposed land use concept, be logical in their staging, and integrate well with the existing community.

The Aspendale Area Structure Plan contemplates the development of new housing, commercial areas, parks, trails, and supporting infrastructure – providing a mix of housing choices, expanded recreation options, and space for new businesses. Adoption of the plan will ensure that the Town has adequate development-ready land for its future needs.

The proposed ASP and information about the project to date are available on our website at www.westlock.ca/aspendale-asp. Alternatively, the proposed ASP may be viewed by the public at the Town Office during the hours of 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
