the 77-page plan<\/a> is a culmination of many years of work to bring \u201ca diversity of homes, civic amenities and local commercial spaces\u201d to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\u201cThis approval that we\u2019re seeking today is to mayor and council, in your capacity as the land owner. The next steps will be to come back and rezone the sites in a phase-by-phase manner,\u201d he said. \u201cThis could take up to 30 years to complete because it all depends on market conditions and as part of that rezoning we will be coming back as, like any other land owner seeking council\u2019s approval in your regulatory capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osadan-Ulman provided an overview of the vision, which includes the $310 million community centre, road right-of-way upgrades and a TransLink rapid bus transit station.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan shows and highlights alignment between government and non-government bodies that\u2019s SCDC, TransLink in the city of Surrey and probably really importantly for SCDC, it helps us unlock development potential and provide certainty to developers so we can attract investment to this area,\u201d she said. \u201cIt could potentially include 2,200 new homes\u201d as well as accommodate 4,000 residents and up to 150,000 square feet of retail and commercial space.<\/p>\n
The first phase involves a \u201cKing George Transit Village\u201d on the former Rona site, bounded by King George to the east, 70B Avenue to the north, 135 Street to the west and The Brick to the south.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will say that it is very exciting,\u201d Mayor Brenda Locke remarked. \u201cI\u2019m very glad you are going to be working in the Newton area because certainly we have done so much with the Focus Newton campaign that we started some years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cNewton is our largest town centre so giving it that kind of TLC is really important that we do that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Master plan for Newton town centre rolled out Published 11:18 pm Monday, April 13, 2026 Surrey council endorsed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-603012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
