Strategic Planning Committee

Cheakamus Crossing community

The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) is a Select Committee of Council consisting of council, staff and community members – each bringing a unique perspective in determining key considerations relative to community planning and management of future land uses and activities within the Resort Municipality of Whistler.

This Committee was established with the adoption of the Terms of Reference on May 28, 2019, with the objective to act in an advisory capacity, to support Council in its decision making related to community and land use planning and growth management.

Primary goals

  • Provide input to long term strategy development for community and land use planning activities within the municipal boundaries;
  • Provide strategic input for potential amendments to the Official Community Plan (OCP) and major development projects being considered in the RMOW;
  • Establish guiding metrics and targets to effectively manage and balance Whistler’s resort and community capacity while protecting Whistler’s unique sense of place and meeting the community’s long term needs.
