West Belleville (Loyalist) Secondary Plan

The City of Belleville is revising its Loyalist Secondary Plan, a long-term planning strategy for approximately 950 hectares of land east of Wallbridge‑Loyalist Road, south of Hwy 401, and north of the Bay of Quinte, to guide substantial future growth and development.

The plan will be rebranded as the West Belleville Secondary Plan and will shape a vibrant, sustainable mixed‑use community with:

• Over 6,000 new residential units spanning low-, medium-, and high-density formats;
• Enhanced transportation networks, parks, trails, and public infrastructure; and
• A balanced mix of commercial, employment, institutional, and recreational spaces.

A comprehensive suite of technical studies, including environmental, servicing, and traffic assessments, are underway to support policy refinements.

The update is being led by Dillon Consulting Limited and aligns with the City’s Official Plan, Provincial Planning Statement, and supporting strategies like the Infrastructure Phasing Strategy.

Key deliverables include:

• Revised land use concept and policy framework;
• Technical reports on servicing, transportation, natural heritage, flood mapping (Potter’s Creek); and
• Public engagement to ensure community insight shapes the Plan.

Public Consultation Centre:
A Public Consultation Centre was held on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Loyalist College in the Link Lounge (Room 2L60).

Next Steps:
The technical engineering studies and the final draft of the Plan and OPA are now being completed. A statutory public meeting will then be held before the Planning Advisory Committee, after which the final Plan and OPA will be presented to Council for approval.
