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.
