Official Community Plan

What is an Official Community Plan?

An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a principal policy document used to assist with planning decision-making matters. It includes:

• A statement of long-term comprehensive vision for the future.

• Broad statements of community goals & objectives.

• Broad policies to achieve goals, objectives and community vision.

• Planning, land use management and decision-making guides.

The Official Community Plan is a tool to help Council and citizens manage change in a community. It reflects the values and priorities which have been articulated by Council and the general public. An OCP is a “living document” that provides clear direction but is not a static document. OCP’s should be continually adapted to reflect communities' trends and respond to special circumstances. OCP’s are typically reviewed every 5 years.

The District of Clearwater is currently updating their existing OCP. A Steering Committee has been formed and it includes the following members:

Hazel Wadlegger - Chair
Linda Selbee - Vice Chair
Lorne Wright - Senior Representative
Merlin Blackwell - Public at Large Representative
