The City of Barrie is taking the next step toward expanding its employment lands. Mayor Alex Nuttall is moving forward with a proposal to rezone a 17.5-hectare parcel at 131 Lockhart Road from agricultural to general industrial use.

The proposed rezoning, which also keeps a portion of the site under Environmental Protection zoning, was introduced at the latest Council meeting on April 9, 2025. A public meeting is scheduled for April 30 at 6 p.m., where residents can weigh in on the changes.

The site — currently designated as Agricultural General (AG) and Environmental Protection (EP) under the Town of Innisfil's old zoning by-law — sits on the south side of Lockhart Road, west of Rawson Avenue. It features approximately 94 metres of road frontage and falls within lands annexed to Barrie in 2010.
