The Site
The Barrhaven South CDP Study Area is located at the south end of the urban area of the City of Ottawa, in the former municipality of Nepean as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Generally, it lies south of the Jock River, east of Highway 416, north of Barnsdale Road and west of Jockvale, Greenbank and the existing Stonebridge Community. The land is approximately 500 hectares (1235 acres) in size and is relatively flat. The key feature is the Jock River, which forms the northern edge of the CDP Study Area.

Figure 2 – Study Area
Early Barrhaven was developed by Mel Barr of Kingston. In 1959, he bought 200 acres from a man with the nickname “Early” Larkin, with the intention of building a racecourse. When the Rideau-Carleton Raceway appeared shortly after his purchase, he abandoned the idea and, noting that a sewer had already been constructed to service the Agriculture Canada complex in the Greenbelt, he subdivided the land. Services went in and Barr sold the lots to various builders.
Currently, there are several landowners within the 500-hectare study area. The single largest landowner is Mattamy Development Corporation which owns 228 hectares or 46% of the land. Tamarack Developments, Monarch Homes and Minto own an additional 125 hectares (25%) between them. The City of Ottawa owns 32 hectares of Major Open Space lands along the Jock River and the remainder of the lands are owned by various groups and individuals. A complete listing of all landholdings is outlined below in Table 1.
