10-Year Official Community Plan Update

We are updating the Official Community Plan (OCP) for Victoria to meet the needs of our growing population and address the housing and climate crises. The plan we make now will help Victoria grow and change to meet future challenges.

Let's Talk About Victoria's Future:
This year, we will be in your community and online talking with you about housing, community and climate and how you see your city changing and growing into the future. Until September, 2024, you can have your say by taking the OCP survey, attending an open house, visiting us at a pop-up event or attending an online information session.

Check this page for updates on new engagement opportunities and sign-up for the OCP Newsletter to keep up to date on OCP engagement activities. You can also try out City Spark, the Official Community Plan Matchmaker, to swipe through and match with OCP topic areas that have your heart before taking the survey.


Not Starting From Scratch
Victoria is already a leader in housing policy and regulations and this work continues to align local action with federal and provincial programs that seek to address the housing crisis.

We have a solid understanding of what Victoria values and needs from years of public feedback, technical analysis, current City policy and through the creation of plans like GoVictoria, the Climate Leadership Plan, Parks and Open Spaces Masterplan and Victoria 3.0. Now it's time to talk about how to bring those values to life as our city grows and changes.


The Official Community Plan: It's. A. Big. Deal.
The Official Community Plan (OCP) shapes how we live, work and play in Victoria. It's the long-term plan that determines how our community will grow and change. Decisions on where housing, businesses and parks should go, how we move around the city and ways Victoria can respond to the climate crisis are all determined by the OCP. If the City was a train, the OCP would be its conductor leading the way.
