Add Your Voice To Shape the Future of Our Community

The “Love Where You Live Questionnaire” has officially launched, inviting all community members to provide their valuable feedback on the ongoing Sunshine Coast Regional District Official Community Plan (OCP) renewal process. This initiative is designed to gather input on critical areas that will shape the future character and development of our region. 

Before we continue, a quick reminder on what an OCP is. An OCP is like a roadmap for the future. It guides how our communities grow, evolve, and respond to change. Whether it’s planning neighbourhoods, determining housing options, protecting the environment, developing parks, or preparing for the impacts of climate change, the OCP sets the course for decision-making that affects everyone, now and for generations to come.  

The questionnaire serves as YOUR space to provide feedback on many important areas of the OCP renewal. You can access the questionnaire by clicking here.  

The comprehensive feedback process is structured in two parts to ensure a wide range of input is collected: 

Part One: The Main Questionnaire (linked above) – This section allows for detailed responses on the key areas such as housing, community and climate. 

Part Two: Interactive Map – Once you complete the main questionnaire, participants will be directed to an interactive map. This map features four short questions focusing on:

• Where new housing should go in the region.
• The features of your community that make it special. 

To help understand the diverse perspectives within the community, the questionnaire also gathers general demographic information, including age group and electoral area of residence. Community members are strongly encouraged to participate and contribute their insights, ensuring that the OCP renewal reflects the collective vision for a thriving and sustainable future. 

From questionnaires to to community events and pop-up stations, there will be lots of ways to have input on the OCP. Information on upcoming events will be shared on the project engagement space at letstalk.scrd.ca/ocp-renewal.
