At their regular meeting on January 20th, Council received a report summarizing the work completed in Phase 3 of the OCP Update for information. The insights gathered in Phase 3 will inform the development of the draft updated OCP in Phase 4, which will include a comprehensive policy framework and a new land use plan, set for completion in early 2025. 

The work completed in the third phase of the OCP Update provided vital information for the development of the draft OCP, now underway in the fourth phase. Notably, the extensive community engagement has clarified the draft land use map and the 10 Big Moves, which will ultimately inform the updated OCP policies and implementation strategies. The draft updated OCP is scheduled to be presented to Council in February. Following this, it will be reviewed by residents and interest groups before progressing to bylaw introduction, public hearing, and adoption consideration in the spring of 2025.
