District Planning is a multi-year project to build The City Plan’s 15-minute districts—small towns in our big city— where people can meet many of their daily needs locally.

Located in the northwest area of the city, the Northwest District is one of fifteen districts in Edmonton’s District Network as outlined in The City Plan. Sturgeon County and the City of St. Albert neighbour the district north and northwest, respectively, and adjacent districts include the Northeast, Jasper Place, Central and 118 Avenue (see Figure 6.1: Citywide Context). Exempting the Anthony Henday, the Northwest District includes the following neighbourhoods: Albany, Athlone, Baturyn, Baranow, Beaumaris, Belle Rive, Caernarvon, Calder, Canossa, Carlisle, Carlton, Chambery, Cumberland, Dunluce, Eaux Claires, Elsinore, Evansdale, Glengarry, Goodridge, Corners, Griesbach, Hagmann Estate Industrial, Hudson, Kensington, Killarney, Klarvatten, Lago Lindo, Lauderdale, Lorelei, McArthur Industrial, Mistatim Industrial, Northmount, Oxford, Pembina, Rampart Industrial, Rapperswill, Rosslyn and Wellington.

Northwest District Plan Repeals

The City Plan has put the need to simplify our policy landscape into sharper focus. District plans will contain the most current directions from The City Plan. As Edmonton transitions from over a hundred area plans to 15 district plans, Edmonton’s planning system will become more predictable, efficient and effective so it can direct and inform Edmonton’s long-term growth and development. 

The City has reviewed every area plan and has recommended which plans can be repealed, amended or retained. For a full list of proposed plan repeals check out the District Planning - Plan Repeal List
