FAQs

A comprehensive set of technical studies are underway to inform the preparation of the plan, including Leduc County’s Transportation Master Plan and a transportation network integration study, a servicing analysis, a stormwater management strategy, an environmental review of the area, a fiscal impact study and landscape design guidelines for the study area. Combined, these studies provide the groundwork for the planning process by identifying key infrastructure pieces, like the Nisku Spine Road along 9 Street which will support future growth and development in the plan area.

The new Central Nisku Plan will provide a framework for land-use policies and objectives in the area and will incorporate and build on pre-existing plans, like the Nisku Major Employment Centre ASP, Transportation Master Plan and Land Use Bylaw. The county intends to align existing plans to ensure the central Nisku area achieves responsible and effective growth and wise management of its land and resources. In accordance with these plans, the county will aim to improve all modes of connectivity throughout the region.

Central Nisku is an economically active and fiscally productive area. Our intent is to update the overall plan for the area to meet current standards, improve connectivity and expand business diversity in the park by creating a more aesthetically pleasing environment. The existing businesses will benefit from the addition of the vibrancy and amenities that come along with an increased diversity in industries.

The existing road network, and possibly streetscape, may have to undergo some changes to accommodate greater mobility for pedestrians and cyclists (and/or future transit), as well as vehicle traffic. Future analysis will confirm the need. This is to ensure a satisfactory level of service is maintained for vehicles, while also providing users the options to walk or cycle and maintain safe and efficient accesses to the area.  

We have just completed the background research phase of the project and are moving into the planning and development concept development in June 2021. Although zoning has not been defined yet, the intent is that this area will serve as a compatible buffer between industrial uses within central Nisku and the residential communities to the east.

The Central Nisku Plan will be presented to County Council for adoption. As the plan is developed, there will be multiple opportunities for the public and stakeholder groups to provide their input on the direction of the plan and the resulting document.
