On February 26, 2024, Council endorsed the Waterfront Plan that provides a long-term vision for Beaverton’s waterfront and open space lands that connect downtown Beaverton to the harbour.
A comprehensive public consultation program was undertaken as part of the Waterfront Plan process over the past 14 months, with a series of workshops, open houses and meetings to obtain input throughout the process. The Waterfront Plan brings together the components and features from the concept options developed through the process and presents a framework for guiding the detailed design of over 40 component projects. The preferred plan was prepared considering the results of the online survey and other inputs from Township staff, the consultant team and other agency and public input. The plan is described according to five focus areas: the Harbour, fairgrounds, railway parcels, Mill Gateway Park and downtown Beaverton.
The Waterfront Area and Open Space Plan will be used as input into the Township’s annual budget and business plan to help guide projects within the waterfront and open space areas. Township staff can also explore external funding opportunities as they become available to help implement specific components within the plan. Phasing of the key components of the plan has been identified with projects, such as a new washroom facility proposed at the harbour within the next 5 years to replace the existing facility. Longer term projects include a bandshell / pavilion in the Fairgrounds or Mill Gateway Park, along with the enhanced river walk in Mill Gateway Park and the downtown.
