Public Involvement
From February through to June of this year, input from the public has contributed to shaping the future direction of the updated Official Community Plan. A variety of methods were used in an effort to hear from a broad range of people and interests in the Victoria community.
Below is a diagram illustrating the different opportunities for public input. For more information about each of these activities visit the past events and activities page.
Throughout the various stages of the public engagement process, members of the community identified areas they felt were priorities for the City to address in the Official Community Plan update. Feedback from the public identified common community values, as well as possible goals and directions in key topic areas.
All of the input received over the past several months helped inform a report approved by City Council in August. Following Council direction, staff will prepare a draft plan in the fall for submission to Council in January 2011. Further public engagement will take place early in 2011, providing Victoria citizens an opportunity to provide more input on Victoria’s updated Official Community Plan once it is in draft form.
