A new staff report, Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan – Mayoral Direction Number 01-2026 was released for the February 17, 2026 Council Meeting containing information on the proposed roads, active transportation, and trails network, and direction on building height, density, and land use within the Secondary Plan Area. The resulting Draft Official Plan Amendment and Draft Zoning By-law Amendment documents have been prepared as directed and are available for review and comment.

Upcoming Statutory Public Open House - April 28, 2026 date cancelled - a new date will be communicated once available.

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

Upcoming Statutory Public Open House - Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan

The Town of Ajax will be holding a Statutory Public Open House to consult on the draft Official Plan Amendment and draft Zoning By-law Amendment for the Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan. This meeting will be held in accordance with Sections 17(16) and 34(12)(b) of the Planning Act.

Once a new date has been confirmed, updated details will be shared through our regular communication channels and posted to this page.

Purpose of the draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and draft Zoning Bylaw Amendment (ZBA)

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. The draft OPA and ZBA set out a framework to transform the existing industrial area surrounding the GO Station into a new transit-oriented, mixed-use community.

The purpose of the draft OPA and ZBA is to implement recommendations from the Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan Study and direction from Town of Ajax Council. The draft OPA introduces a new boundary for the PMTSA into the Town’s Official Plan and establishes policies that set a long term vision for a transit oriented, mixed-use district that will provide community amenities such as schools, community centre facilities and open spaces. The draft ZBA will amend the Town’s Zoning By-law to establish appropriate permitted uses and development standards, such as height, tower separation and lot coverage, for the area.

Subject Lands

The subject lands consist of the area known as the Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan Area as shown on the Key Map.
