The City of Quesnel is currently reviewing the Official Community Plan (OCP) for the city. The OCP is the statement of objectives and policies that guide planning, land use management, and other development in the city over the next five to 20 years. Because all the bylaws in the City must be consistent with the OCP, this is an important document that will outline the direction for the city into the future.
This work will be combined with efforts to update our Development Process Bylaw to streamline the City's permitting and review processes to make this easier and more accessible for developers, residents, and businesses.
The first step of this process will be a City of Quesnel OCP Kickoff Open House. This event will be held on Monday, May 5, 2025, at Quesnel City Hall Council Chambers (410 Kinchant St) from 4 pm to 8 pm. At this Open House, you can:
- Learn about what the current OCP includes
- Review important information about the community
- Provide input about the principles, goals, and objectives to be included to guide development in the community
Everyone is invited to drop by anytime between 4 pm and 8 pm at the City Hall Council Chambers at 410 Kinchant St. There are no formal sessions planned, but feel free to come in to discuss the OCP and your perspectives on the future of the City.
The results from this outreach will be used to inform the development of the OCP updates, and a second Open House to review these changes will be held in early September.
