TWC Enterprises Limited (Clublink) the largest owner, operator and manager of golf clubs in Canada has withdrawn the appeals filed with the Ontario Land Tribunal in relation to the potential redevelopment of Glen Abbey Golf Club.
TWC Enterprises Ltd., issued a brief statement saying it has withdrawn appeals that were to be heard in August. After spending years of fighting and millions of dollars in legal fees, no explanation or reasons were provided for the withdrawal.
The development plan, which included construction of about 3,000 homes plus office and retail space, faced stiff local resistance.
Ontario Minister for Municipal Affairs Steve Clark says in a statement that he had been asked to intervene this week by the Town of Oakville and Halton Region.
Clark says he got a commitment from ClubLink to not only end its appeal but withdraw plans for development and to continue operation of Glen Abbey as a golf course.
Oakville Mayor Rob Burton issued a statement saying “the announcement that the Glen Abbey lands will be conserved is precisely what Town Council, Halton Regional Council and Oakville residents have been working towards for many years.”
