You can learn more about the City’s updates to the community plan through virtual sessions.
The City of Courtenay is updating its Official Community Plan, a document that guides the city’s decisions on land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure and more, to meet new provincial housing requirements.
The update comes after the B.C. Government introduced new legislation last year, requiring all local governments to update their community plans. The updates need to include 20 years of housing needs by the end of this year.
As part of this updating, the city is holding four online sessions on housing & livability and growing and servicing complete communities for you to attend.
“The two sessions for each topic will have the same content and format, starting with a short presentation followed by questions and answers with project staff and consultants,” said the city.
“Pre-registration is encouraged to get the virtual link in advance.”
The city says the aim of these sessions is to get the community involved in these changes, with hopes that this update will expand housing choices and support growth for infrastructure, parks, open spaces, and amenities.
The housing and livability sessions run on July 15 and 17, while the growing and servicing sessions run on July 28 and 29 respectively.
