Ice Lake Road South Master Plan

Ice Lake Road South Master Plan

The Ice Lake Road South Master Plan project is being carried out by the City of Whitehorse, in partnership with Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Government of Yukon. When completed, the Master Plan will provide direction for the development of a mixed-use commercial and industrial subdivision to meet growing demand and create economic opportunities. The plan will establish a vision and framework for the area including different land uses, access, roads, trails, and other features, as well as guidance on lot density, on and off-site infrastructure, and costing / financial feasibility.

The City of Whitehorse is looking for feedback on the preliminary land use scenario (an early draft concept) to hear your feedback and ideas. Your input will inform the refinement of the design as it moves through to more detailed planning and design phases, before going forward for council approval and environmental assessment (YESAB).

Thank you for your participation in this brief survey. The results of the survey will be posted after the survey closes on August 28.

Ice Lake Road South Draft Master Plan

In partnership with Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Government of Yukon, the City is developing a Master Plan for Ice Lake Road South. The Plan will direct development of a mixed-use commercial and industrial subdivision. The development will aim to meet growing demand and create economic opportunities.

In August 2023, we collected feedback from the public on the preliminary land use scenario. Based on that feedback and further studies, the project team has developed the land use concept. Now, we're looking for your feedback on the draft Master Plan. Your input will help us refine the plan before we present it to Council for consideration. 

Key objectives of the Ice Lake Road South Master Plan include:

• Creating employment lands;
• Taking advantage of the site’s proximity to the Alaska Highway to boost development and provide opportunity for highway-oriented commercial uses;
• Providing flexibility to meet evolving commercial and industrial needs;  
• Guiding long-term investment in infrastructure development; and
• Implementing an effective and efficient use of the site.
