An OCP planning project to update the Rockyview OCP and consolidate it with the Moyie and Area OCP is back on the table.
The project was planned back in 2023 but was put on hold due to staffing changes within the RDEK.
“We have a new Planner on staff and are excited to dive back into the planning process,” said Electoral Area C director Rob Gay.
“When we started the process, we received valuable information through the community engagement and that early input remains valuable. We are now looking to build on that foundation as we work toward completing the plan.”
Gay says there will be a number of engagement opportunities in the coming months including open houses and invitational meetings.
“We are hoping to see strong involvement so that we can build on what we learned early-on in the process and ensure we hear diverse points of view, ideas, and information,” added Gay.
“Engagement opportunities will be held for residents, First Nations, government agencies, and interest-holders from across the OCP area starting in late August and through the fall.”
A draft of the Rockyview OCP is expected to be done by early 2026.
