• The Green Lane Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 4-2018) plans a mixed-use, transit-supportive community along Green Lane between Bathurst and Leslie, with higher-density residential, office and institutional uses planned near the East Gwillimbury GO station at Green Lane and 2nd Concession.

• In 2022, provincial law replaced the earlier Upper York Sewage Solutions plan with the York Region Sewage Works Project, which sends wastewater to the Duffin Creek plant on Lake Ontario. York Region lists East Gwillimbury parts in design and planning, such as 2nd Concession gravity sewers and pumping station upgrades (scheduled for 2028) and Queensville East pumping station work (scheduled for 2031), with later phases to 2041. This servicing is a key reason new subdivisions in East Gwillimbury are phased over time; ask us how timing may affect a new-build closing.

• Current York Region work includes 2nd Concession sewer and Holland Landing valve chamber rehabilitation (fall 2026 to spring 2027) and Sharon Trunk Sewer retrofits (spring 2027 completion).
