The draft Thunder Stone Junction Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) is a statutory plan that, upon approval by Okotoks Town Council, will provide a policy framework to guide the development of approximately 190 ha (470.0) acres of land in north Okotoks as shown on the map below.

This is a Town-driven plan to facilitate further employment lands growth in a strategically-located part of Okotoks. The NASP is located within the North Point Area Structure Plan and Trilogy Plains Area Structure Plan on lands that are approved for future employment-related land uses.

The NASP will provide information on the proposed development layout, commercial/industrial area design requirements, open space and park design concepts, road infrastructure, utility servicing and the active transportation network for the area. Approval of this plan and development of this area will help spur additional employment opportunities for area residents as well as work towards diversifying the Town’s non-residential tax base.

The latest draft of the Thunder Stone Junction NASP is now ready for review with another opportunity to provide feedback. The plan shows proposed land uses, roads, open spaces and design ideas for future employment lands in north Okotoks. One important update in this draft: the green space buffer between the Air Ranch neighbourhood and the future employment area has been doubled from what was previously approved. This change reflects the input we received during the first phase of community engagement this past June. Following the final review period, the plan will be finalized and it will be brought forward to Council for a public hearing in late winter/early spring 2026.
