Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan

As a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA), the Ajax GO Station Area serves an important role in accommodating future growth and intensification in the Town of Ajax. It is a priority of the Town to ensure that future development and redevelopment within the Ajax GO Station Area occurs in a manner that maximizes existing and future transit infrastructure and prioritizes high-quality, compact mixed-use development.

The Town of Ajax is undertaking the preparation of an Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan, which will conclude in the creation of an Official Plan policy framework (Official Plan Amendment), zoning provisions (Zoning By-law Amendment), Urban Design Guidelines and a Placemaking Plan. The Secondary Plan will set out a framework to transform the existing industrial area surrounding the GO Station into a new transit-oriented community by establishing preferred areas for residential, commercial, office and institutional land uses, as well as appropriate public realm, built form and infrastructure standards.

Study Area

A Primary Study Area and an Expanded Study Area have been identified for the Secondary Plan Study. The Primary Study Area encompasses the PMTSA designation (as identified by Durham Region) which generally includes lands within an 800-metre (10-minute) walking distance from the Ajax GO Station. The Expanded Study Area, extending approximately 300 to 700 metres beyond the Primary Study Area, has been identified to consider matters such as land use compatibility, transportation connections and key destinations, services or facilities to support the growing community.

Study Process

Your feedback is important to us! Thank you to those who responded to our survey that closed on September 5, 2025. The data collected through this survey has been analyzed and used along with completed background work to guide the preparation of potential Land Use Concepts for the Secondary Plan Area. Please note that this is not the end of the conversation. The Land Use Concepts will be evaluated and brought forward to the public for further input.
