Official Community Plan

The OCP is a provincially-mandated regulatory document and set of high-level plans and policies, such as land use designations that guide land use planning, social, economic, and environmental policies, and civic infrastructure investments.

Whistler's OCP was last comprehensively updated in 1993, although amendments to the document have been made continually, and a vast amount of functional policy has been developed over the last 17 years.

Official Community Plan update

The Official Community Plan (OCP) is about regulating and implementing shared community directions. These directions will guide Whistler's development and meet its anticipated needs over the next five years and beyond in support of our Whistler2020 vision to be the premier mountain resort community - as we move toward sustainability.

The OCP update is a collaborative process, with the community involved in every step of the way.

Please visit www.whistler2010.com for more information on the OCP update and to view the Draft OCP which will be available September 30, 2011.

Whistler2020 and the OCP update

The OCP is an important tool, which will help to implement Whistler2020, Whistler's community sustainability plan. The OCP update will allow Whistler to answer important questions about its future, as it moves forward post-Games.

The OCP doesn't replace Whistler2020; the two documents work together. Whistler2020 is Whistler's highest-level policy and guide for the OCP update. The OCP provides the regulatory framework for Whistler2020 policy and is one of the tools to implement Whistler2020 and formally protect Whistler's vision.
