OCP Feedback

Coldstream seeking public input on Official Community Plan

Oct 31, 2025 | 12:49 PM

Coldstream residents are invited to share their feedback on the district’s community growth strategy.

The district is considering adopting its new Official Community Plan (OCP), and asked residents to review the document and provide their input on the plan.

The plan provides a long-term overall vision for growth and change in the community, with the district saying recent major changes include complying with the provincial Homes for People Plan, establishing a Wildfire Protection Development Permit area for projects in fire interface zones, and identification of lands suitable for future housing development.

The OCP documents can be found here.

People can submit their feedback on the plan online or in person.
