Southwest Brandon’s growth curve continues to rise, with city council approving two rezoning by‑laws this week that clear the way for nearly 90 new single‑family homes and expanded municipal infrastructure in the 34th Street corridor.
Council signed off on By‑Law 7455 and By‑Law 7459, converting land at 1900 34th Street (Brookwood) and 1955 34th Street (Bellafield) from AG80 Agricultural General to RLD Residential Low Density and OS Open Space. The move formally transitions both parcels into residential neighbourhoods, supporting what planners describe as sustained long‑term growth in Brandon’s southwest.
The Brookwood South expansion — 43 lots proposed by Waverly Developments — will extend the existing neighbourhood west of 34th Street. On the east side, VBJ Developments’ 46‑lot Bellafield addition will connect directly into the established community for the first time. Together, the subdivisions represent 89 new detached homes, a notable boost in a market where single‑family supply has lagged in recent years.

City planning documents outline how both projects tie into broader servicing upgrades already underway. Phase 1 of the southwest wastewater servicing project includes a gravity sewer, pressurized line and lift station designed to support new development along 34th Street. A new school now under construction in the area will also serve future families moving into Brookwood South and Bellafield.

To support construction traffic and maintain flow along Victoria Avenue East, council also gave first reading to By‑Law 7461, which temporarily opens a portion of public road south of Victoria and east of 17th Street East. The measure is intended to help manage vehicle movement during work in the Victoria–Perry Street area.
New internal roads will be built within both subdivisions, with VBJ Developments proposing Propp Place and McCrimmon Drive — names intended to honour former Brandon Wheat Kings players.
With rezoning now approved and subdivision conditions in place, planners expect construction to accelerate once requirements are met. The additions mark another step in Brandon’s southwest build‑out, a greenfield zone the city has identified as a key growth area for the coming decade.
