Imagine Westmount Southeast

Special Planning Programme

Contexte

Imagine the future of the Southeast sector!

A Special planning programme (SPP) allows the existing urban plan to be modified. As part of this project, the SPP will make it possible to direct urban planning guidelines over a specific area, and to rethink the Southeast sector.

The Westmount Master Plan sets out the City’s broad planning and development guidelines. This plan, along with its implementing instruments (such as the zoning by-law and the by-law on site planning and architectural integration), establishes a framework for the protection and, in some cases, redevelopment of neighbourhoods, streets, buildings and vacant spaces.

This SPP will be a catalyst for the revitalisation of the southeast sector of Westmount, and citizen participation will contribute greatly to its success.

Throughout the project, participatory phases will put forward the ideas of those who live in the area, notably through a survey and public consultations.

The target sector is bounded by Sherbrooke Street to the north, Atwater Avenue to the east, Dorchester Boulevard to the south and Wood Avenue to the west. It also includes the area between rue Sainte-Catherine and boulevard Dorchester, from their junction in the west to avenue Wood in the east.

Next steps

Following the public meeting held on 18 June 2025 to present the major outlines of the PPU and its concordance by-laws, the City is making the final amendments. Adoption of the PPU is scheduled for 8 September 2025, at a regular council meeting.

The draft concordance by-laws of the Plan particulier d’urbanisme (PPU) of the sector Sud-Est were adopted at a special council meeting on 27 May 2025 and can be consulted in the Documentation section at the bottom of this page.
