Courtice Waterfront and Energy Park

Project description

The Energy Park is currently home to the Darlington Energy Complex and the Durham York Energy Centre. The recent announcement by OPG to relocate their headquarters to Courtice will bring over 2,000 jobs to this area. This move will spur the growth of an energy cluster and attract additional jobs to this area. The Secondary Plan area includes the lands south of Highway 401, east of Darlington Provincial Park, and north of Lake Ontario. 

Combined with the employment growth in the Energy Park the Municipality will also create a premium 18 hectare Municipal park along the Courtice waterfront. In addition to the waterfront park this project proposes a new mixed-use and residential neighbourhood.

Statutory Public Meeting – June 13, 2022

After extensive consultation, the Municipality presented the draft Courtice Waterfront and Energy Park Secondary Plan and Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines at a Statutory Public Meeting on June 13, 2022.

This secondary plan would create Clarington’s premier, prestige employment centre and create a Municipal-scale, waterfront park along the Lake Ontario shoreline. These areas are proposed to be complemented with a new residential and mixed-use neighbourhood. There is a unique and complementary relationship between these areas that would make this part of Courtice the optimal location for premium jobs and a showcase destination along our waterfront.
