One of Ontario's finest golf courses that has hosted 28 Canadian Opens, was on the docket at Oakville Town council on Wednesday, as ClubLink applied to have the historic golf course demolished.
Oakville town council voted unanimously to reject the plan proposed by ClubLink, which was filed on Monday to make way for homes, offices and stores.
ClubLink filed the application under section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act, leaving the RayDor Estate House, Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Stables untouched, the rest, demolished.
The proposed plan for the development of the land involved:
- 141 detached homes
- 299 townhomes
- 2,782 apartments
- Retail space
- Office space
- Parks
- Open space
- Heritage areas
Prior to the proposal going to town council, local residents expressed their concerns with what the proposed development of the golf course might do to the local area. They were concerned with the traffic levels, loss of green space, density levels, and losing a world class golf course.
The application was submitted in response to the decision by the Oakville Planning and Development Council to pass a notice of intention to designate the entire property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
