Quinsam Heights Neighbourhood Plan

Project Background

The Quinsam Heights Neighbourhood Plan was last updated in 2008. Since then, Quinsam Heights has seen pockets of new growth and development in response to Campbell River's growing population. As the city continues to grow, Quinsam Heights will be an important growth area to address the community's future housing needs.

The updated Quinsam Heights Neighbourhood Plan will be a visionary land use plan to accommodate a diversity of housing options, retail, business, open space and recreational opportunities, while preserving sensitive environmental areas that are a key part of the neighbourhood's identity.

Planning Process

The updated Quinsam Heights Neighbourhood Plan will provide direction to guide planning and land use management for the neighbourhood.

The planning process will consist of three phases:

Phase 1 - Collecting background research, including demographic, employment, transportation, economic, environment, and land use information about the plan area.

Phase 2 - Exploring the creation of a community vision, identification of key issues, opportunities and priorities and potential land use scenarios to realize the vision for the area.

Phase 3 - Developing policy directions and drafting a plan.

Plan Adoption - Presenting final plan to Council for adoption.

The planning process involves ongoing engagement with the public, First Nations, community partners, a Project Advisory Team, City staff and Council at key stages of plan development.
