Consultation has concluded
Why a Facilities Master Plan?
Maintaining all of Norfolk's properties and spaces is challenging and expensive. Changes in how services are delivered and the evolving needs of our community have resulted in some facilities being underutilized while others are heavily used and require upgrades. It's time to reassess and adapt to meet current demands while ensuring fiscal responsibility of facilities across our expansive region.
The Facilities Master Plan will:
Optimize resources: Ensure responsible spending and efficient use of our facilities.
Enhance operations: Improve functionality, access, and accessibility with consideration for multi-use facilities that deliver high-quality services.
Foster collaboration: Create centralized spaces that support teamwork, community engagement, and customer service.
Support growth: Align our facilities with Norfolk’s Strategic Priorities and future needs.
Facilities to be included in the Plan
Since becoming a municipality in 2001, Norfolk County has acquired over 200 facilities. Of these, 90 are under review, including:
Administration facilities,including staff offices, service counters, rentals, leased spaces, and vacant buildings.
Operations facilities,including garages, road maintenance, waste management, storage, fieldhouses, clubhouses, and public washrooms.
Cultural facilities, including five public libraries, three museums, an art centre, and heritage buildings.
Recreational facilities,including community centres, arenas and indoor and outdoor pools.
Emergency facilities,including fire and EMS stations.
Our approach
Norfolk County has partnered with Municipal VU Consulting Inc. to thoroughly review our facilities and engage with staff, Council, key stakeholders, and the community. Their insights will help us develop a roadmap that reflects our collective vision for the future.
