SCRD encourages public participation in final stages of OCP Renewal Project 

The Sunshine Coast Regional District is only two weeks from completing the Official Community Plan Renewal Project, and they’re asking for help.  

According to the district, they’re in the final weeks of public engagement and although several community members have submitted feedback, the district said input is needed particularly in the Halfmoon Bay and West Howe Sound areas. 

“Community participation is essential in shaping a shared vision for the future of the Sunshine Coast,” said the district. “While many residents across the region have contributed so far, we need all residents who have not yet participated in this phase of the OCP Renewal to share ideas and feedback” 

The project is in place to guide how communities grow and change, and the board said participation is critical to ensuring the plan reflects the needs of the entire region. 

A public workshop is scheduled for March 31 at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre, and the district is offering an online survey.
