Help Shape Surrey's Official Community Plan Update
Official title: Official Community Plan
Why This Matters
Live in Surrey? This plan shapes where new homes, shops, and parks go in your neighbourhood. It affects traffic, transit routes, and whether that empty lot becomes condos or a community garden. Over 3,600 residents already weighed in on earlier phases.
What Could Change
The new OCP will set land use designations across Surrey's six town centres. That means zoning changes that determine building heights, housing density, and commercial development. The plan is expected to be adopted in late 2025 or early 2026.
Key Issues
- What land use designations should guide development in Surrey's town centres?
- What policies should shape housing, transportation, and community growth?
- What values and priorities should guide Surrey's long-term vision?
How to Participate
- Review the Phase 3 engagement summary to see what residents said about policy directions.
- Read the Phase 2 What We Heard Report and Phase 1 What We Heard Report to understand community feedback so far.
- Stay updated on the final plan by visiting the consultation page as the city moves toward adoption.
What Happened
Phase 4 engagement has concluded. The city received feedback on draft land use designations and policies. Across all phases, over 3,600 survey responses were collected in Phase 1, over 3,000 in Phase 2, and additional feedback through pop-ups, pizza parties, and targeted outreach to seniors and seldom-heard communities. The city is compiling feedback and will share an engagement summary soon.
