Project Update: October 30, 2024

The City of Langford has launched Phase 2 of its Official Community Plan (OCP) refresh/rethink and invites you to participate in a survey about the ideas gathered in Phase 1 public engagement.

In Phase 1 of public engagement, the priorities and feedback from the community were identified. The City has now released an “Ideas Paper” that takes what we heard from the community, and connects that feedback to important new ideas and approaches to high quality city-building. These ideas are referred to as “initially preferred options” throughout the paper.

Phase 2 public engagement aims to assess public support or concerns early on to allow for adjustments before the draft OCP is finalized.

Your feedback will help determine whether these ideas should be developed further and included in the draft OCP, which will be shared for additional input during Phase 3.

The survey is open until November 20th.

OCP Refresh Launch: July 2024

Langford is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada. Can we make Langford the BEST growing city in Canada? Yes, we can – with a refreshed Official Community Plan!

For background information on the project and various topics related to the OCP Refresh click here.

An official community plan shapes how a city will grow and what kind of place it will be. It is aspirational and practical. It impacts the places we call home, how we get around, what future development will look like and where it will be.

Your City Council, together with the community, local planning staff, and urban planning experts are delivering a refreshed plan for the future that will address:

  • The needs of a population of 100,000 people
  • Housing affordability
  • Better Transportation, land use and infrastructure
  • Public health and social equity
  • Climate change planning and prevention
  • And more!

    Official Community Plan Refresh Survey

The OCP is our City’s big-picture land-use plan that guides everything from where new homes and parks go, to how we tackle traffic and protect our community’s environment. It's like a street map for Langford's future!

    The current OCP was written in 2008, and a lot has changed since then! Langford is projected to grow to 100,000 residents within the next 15-20 years. We are currently updating the OCP to ensure it reflects the changing needs and wants for current and future residents.

    In the resource section of the project page, you will find background information on the project and various topics discussed in the survey.

    Your voice matters! This survey is your chance to tell us what you think about how Langford should grow and change. Whether it's about green spaces, housing, transportation, land use or anything else related to how we grow as a community, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help shape the policies and projects that affect us all every day!

    Please take 10 minutes of your time to complete this survey. The survey will close on September 15, 2024. Printed copies of the survey are available at 117-877 Goldstream Avenue (ground floor City Hall).
