One City. One Plan.
10-Year Official Community Plan Update

The City of Victoria is updating the Official Community Plan (OCP) for Victoria to meet the needs of our growing population and address the housing and climate crises. As part of the OCP update, the City will consider key directions from current neighbourhood plans to ensure each area of Victoria can grow and maintain it’s special charm while still aligning with OCP framework. James Bay, Oaklands and areas in Jubilee, Fort Street and Oak Bay Avenue are without recent neighbourhood plans. Your ideas are needed to help shape how each area can grow and change into the future.

* Burnside-Gorge, Fairfield, Fernwood, North Park, Hillside-Quadra and Victoria West have neighbourhood plans that were updated between 2012 and 2023. Visions, priorities and actions from these plans will be carried forward into the updated OCP or other citywide policy and regulation.
