Rideau Goulbourn Podcast with Scott Moffatt

The City’s Planning Committee and Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee has approved a growth management strategy that would add between 1,350 and 1,650 gross hectares of residential land and strategically located employment land to Ottawa’s urban area. Councillor Moffatt discusses the meeting, the process, the decision and the reasoning.

After an extremely busy week of Zoom meetings, Councillor Moffatt discusses what's it like to be City Councillor and the various roles involved with the job.

On episode 3 of the Rideau Goulbourn Podcast with Councillor Scott Moffatt, we continue our discussion on the Urban Boundary. We build on the larger, broader discussion from last week and focus on specific Rideau-Goulbourn growth projections and impacts. For instance, developments in Richmond and Manotick are ongoing. What’s that going to look like? What is part of those plans?

The discussion today focuses on Ottawa's urban boundary - protecting our agricultural lands, planning for future growth and building complete communities.

In our first episode, we introduce ourselves and outline the objectives of this podcast. We discuss how the city is handling COVID-19, how Rideau Goulbourn is coping, and we get you up to date on some springtime construction news in the Ward.
