    The FVRD is updating the OCP for Electoral Area C. An OCP is a statement of objectives and policies that guide planning and land use management. The OCP area spans from the Harrison River to the east of Deroche and includes Morris Valley, Harrison Mills, Lake Errock, and eastern portions of the Deroche Bench. The existing OCP was adopted in 2000, and the community’s vision has largely been realized. The OCP update will:

    • Include two (2) Neighbourhood Plans (Lake Errock & Harrison Mills)
    • Identify the overall land use plan for Area C
    • Include priorities raised by the community; including environmental protection, short-term rentals, parks and trails
    • Updated Geohazard information
    • Updated Environmental policies

    Come out, review the progress of the OCP update, and chat with us about the Neighbourhood Plans. Your input is essential to guide future growth in Area C.
