Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP)

繁體中文 | 简体中文 | Tagalog | Español | ਪੰਜਾਬ | Tiếng Việt

The City of Vancouver is turning Vancouver Plan (2022) into the Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP), a city-wide policy document that will be adopted by by-law to guide how the city grows and changes over the next 30 years and beyond. Under new Provincial legislation, Vancouver must adopt a city-wide ODP by June 2026.

The draft Vancouver ODP outlines land use policy for the whole city, mapping out space for housing, jobs, parks and schools as the city grows. It builds on the Vancouver Plan, which was created after years of engagement with residents, equity-denied groups, businesses and community organizations. The draft ODP includes all the content of the Vancouver Plan, adding only the necessary information to meet Provincial legislation, updates to reflect Council direction since Vancouver Plan and minor updates to improve clarity.

Next steps

Thank you to everyone who joined an event and/or provided your feedback on the draft ODP. The draft ODP survey was open between Oct. 8 and Oct. 29, 2025 and is now closed. Feedback collected through this engagement will be used to inform the final version of the Vancouver ODP presented to Council. There will another opportunity to share your comments directly with Council at a Public Hearing in early 2026.
