Electoral Area F Official Community Plan Update

Electoral Area F OCP

The RDN is updating the Electoral Area F Official Community Plan (OCP). Electoral Area F includes the communities of Coombs, Hilliers, Errington, Meadowood and Whiskey Creek and the surrounding rural areas.

The first Electoral Area F OCP was adopted in 1999, and new Census Canada Data shows that as of 2021, the population has grown over 50% to approximately 8,200 people. Much of the OCP remains relevant today, and this project was initiated in 2019 to address emerging challenges and update sections of the OCP that have become dated.

After completing Round 1 of engagement, Round 2 was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RDN is now continuing the process of updating the Electoral Area F OCP and underwent Round 2 of engagement between February and March 2022.

The Round 2 Engagement Summary and Final Engagement Summary and Recommendations are now available in the document library. The next phase of the project will include the drafting of the OCP and Round 3 of community engagement to receive feedback on the Draft OCP.

Please stay tuned for more information and upcoming opportunities to get involved in the Area F OCP Update in the coming weeks and months.
