What is the Civic Centre?
Per the Barrhaven Downtown Secondary Plan:
A new Civic Complex is envisioned at the centre of the community to accommodate the development of a multi-purpose civic facility that will serve the broader Barrhaven community (noted on Schedule A - Designation Plan). The facility is envisioned adjacent to the Barrhaven Centre station and the complementing public plaza.
The development of the Civic Complex will be subject to funding being made available. The Civic Complex will develop as a civic and cultural hub that fosters social interaction and community engagement and will feature of a mix of uses including a civic building and/or mixed-use buildings. The Civic Complex is intended to be urban in form with buildings generally fronting onto Chapman Mills Drive.
