The Orbit: It's GO Time!

The Town of Innisfil has big plans for the future including the Orbit project. Imagine a community focused on environmental sustainability, the arts, transit with a proposed GO station, innovative streets and infrastructure, social interaction, health and wellness, a modern economy, urban agriculture, and advanced manufacturing, all combined with vibrant start-up energy and culture. The Orbit is the future of placemaking and city building, today.

Stormwater Master Servicing Plan - Open House

The Town of Innisfil, through Aquafor Beech Limited, is creating a Stormwater Master Servicing Plan for the proposed new community, Orbit. This plan will develop a preferred approach to provide the appropriate stormwater infrastructure to support the Orbit development. The study will integrate the findings of the South Alcona Flood Reduction Class Environmental Assessment and build upon the Town's Stormwater Management Master Plan Update and Flooding Strategy, with a focus on the proposed Orbit lands. This fall, we will introduce the project to the community and look for initial comments and feedback from you.

Drop in to our upcoming open house:

• December 4, 2024 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
• Innisfil Town Hall (Community Rooms) - 2101 Innisfil Beach Road

You'll be able to:

• review the current stormwater conditions in the Orbit development area
• learn about the next steps and how we will develop a preferred approach for stormwater management for Orbit
• share your knowledge and experience of the area

Staff and consultants will be available to receive your feedback and answer questions.

Ask a Planner: The Orbit Virtual Open House

We held a virtual Open House where community members could ask questions about the Orbit project. Following this public event, we created a Frequently Asked Questions page that summarizes the main themes we heard at the Ask A Planner: The Orbit Virtual Open House, and by email.

Initial Stages Survey - 2019/2020

We surveyed the community from November 26, 2019 to January 31, 2020 to get input on the initial stages of development and the future Innisfil GO Station. We reviewed nearly 500 responses to create a draft design that reflects what Innisfil residents wanted to see in the most balanced way. See what your fellow residents said in this Survey Response Summary Report.
