What is an Official Community Plan?
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is recognized by the Provincial Government as a statement of Nipawin’s long-term vision for growth and development. It reflects community values and establishes a framework for investment.
The OCP bylaw is adopted by Council as required by The Planning & Development Act, 2007.
What does an Official Community Plan (OCP) do and why does the Town of Nipawin want to create one?
An OCP sets out rules to guide:
The Plan includes strategies that create jobs and boost the local economy by designating areas for businesses and industries.
Changing housing needs are considered and policies are created to ensure there are enough homes for everyone and that they are suitable for what people can afford.
An OCP also includes policies to protect the environment, benefiting residents’ health and enjoyment of nature.
Future decisions made by the Town of Nipawin will be guided by the OCP. This makes the town’s development more predictable and transparent for residents and local businesses. It also ensures that investments in infrastructure occur efficiently; saving money and improving long-term sustainability.
Most importantly, an OCP creates a long-term vision for Nipawin by asking people for their input. The Town of Nipawin wants you to have a say in how our town develops to ensure it reflects what the community wants and needs. Our shared sense of identity and community pride grows when residents plan the future together.
