Town of Oakville Considers Downtown Heritage District
Town of Oakville Investigating New Downtown Heritage District
The town of Oakville is investigating the possibility of designating downtown a heritage district. This would add a fourth to the already existing heritage districts:
- Old Oakville (established in 1982)
- First and Second Street (established in 1987)
- Trafalgar Road (established in 1994)
This initiative begun in 2010 in the Downtown Oakville Strategic Action Plan and received the support of Town Council.
The project is expected to have 3 phases:
- The preparation of a background and issues identification report
- Completion of a Heritage Conservation District Study, which will offer a complete historical inventory of the physical landscape of the downtown area, including cultural heritage landscapes within the study area
- If approved, consultants will be asked to develop a Heritage Conservation District Plan with guidelines for its completion.
More information will be available at www.oakville.ca as it becomes available.
