City Plan Review 2025

A review of City Plan (the City of Nanaimo’s Official Community Plan) is being completed in 2025 as required by the Local Government Act  (LGA), to ensure City Plan policy accommodates 20 years of housing in accordance with the 2024 Interim Housing Needs Report. The review is also to ensure City Plan policy aligns with the "Transit Oriented Areas Designation Bylaw 2024 No. 7382". Minor housekeeping amendments to maps and text in City Plan are also proposed to respond to new information received from several City departments. In addition, a policy related to the distribution of supportive housing is proposed.

City Plan - Nanaimo ReImagined (“City Plan Bylaw 2022 No. 6600”) was adopted in July 2022, and provides goals and policies to achieve a green, connected, healthy, empowered, and prosperous city. However, City Plan was not meant to be a static document, Section E6 ‘Implementation’ of the Plan states:

“City Plan is also adaptable, understanding that change is inevitable, and there may be a need to amend the Plan to respond to new conditions, circumstances, issues or opportunities. The intent of City Plan is to be visionary – but also be supportive of innovation and new ideas that accelerate progress towards our goals and create a livable and successful community.”
