What is an Official Community Plan?

Official Community Plans (OCPs) are documents that identify a community vision in the face of change. The last significant update for the OCP was in 2005. The upcoming review is expected to carry the community forward over the next 10 years. Council has directed that the updated OCP consider climate change mitigation and adaptation at all stages of its development and has joined the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy towards this aim.

Project Timeline:

The OCP Update began last fall with background review and the establishment of an OCP technical Advisory Committee comprised of a range of topic experts and interests. Council will consider the plan for adoption by early 2021, with an update of the Zoning Bylaw to follow. This update is Courtenay Council’s top strategic priority, and the City is encouraging the public to share their visions for Courtenay’s future at events throughout 2020.
