The Gabriola LTC is engaging in a review of their Official Community Plan (OCP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB). An OCP describes the long-term vision for a community, through a policy statement that guides decisions on planning and land use. An LUB contains regulations to implement the OCP policies. The Gabriola OCP has not been updated since 1997, and the LUB since 1999. The 2024/25 Gabriola Island OCP and LUB Comprehensive Review will address a number of issues of importance to the Gabriola Community. The LTC has identified housing to be a key priority. Work done for the Housing Options and Impact Review will be integrated into the OCP/LUB Review where appropriate.
