VMC Secondary Plan
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC), bounded by Highway 407 to the south, Highway 400 to the west, Portage Parkway to the north and Creditstone and Maplecrete roads to the east, is evolving. As Vaughan's emerging downtown core, the area is poised to be the city's financial, innovation and cultural hub, with a vibrant sense of places linked by a network of parks, public squares and open spaces.
What is the VMC Secondary Plan?
The current VMC Secondary Plan (PDF), approved in 2010, provides a strong vision and policy foundation for the area and has helped guide its development. However, the VMC has seen rapid growth since then, which is why a new plan is needed.
Get involved
Public consultation has been a vital part of creating the VMC Secondary Plan and has evolved over several phases. The project is currently in phase 5, which involves the development of a new final VMC Secondary Plan.
In phase 4, an Open House was held on May 28, 2025, at the David Braley Vaughan Metropolitan Centre of Community to provide the public with an opportunity to review the draft plan, share comments and ask questions directly to the project team.
Couldn't attend in person? No problem! Review the draft plan (PDF) and presentation boards (PDF) online.
The draft new VMC Secondary Plan forms part of Volume 2 of the Vaughan Official Plan 2025. The draft Vaughan Official Plan 2025 can be found on the project webpage.
The Statutory Public Meeting for the VMC Secondary Plan was held on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. The report can be found here (PDF) on the City's website. Comments received are currently being reviewed and considered in preparation of the final draft of the VMC Secondary Plan, which will be presented to Council in Fall 2025.
