Port Moody 2050: updating our Official Community Plan

This engagement is now closed. Thank you for participating.

Next step in the Official Community Plan update process:

On February 3, 2026, the City held a public hearing - review City staff's memo and the public hearing package in the public hearing agenda package (items 4.1 and 4.2). Also on February 3, 2026, Council considered third reading of the draft OCP bylaw at a Special Council meeting. Read City staff's report to Council and attachments in the Special Council agenda package (item 4.1). Next steps: the draft OCP bylaw goes to Metro Vancouver for review and will come back to Council in spring 2026 for consideration of adoption.

The City of Port Moody is updating the Official Community Plan (OCP), our long-term vision for our future. Port Moody's OCP is important as it communicates our values and guides us as we make decisions about how we use land for housing, transportation, parks, environmental protection, economic development, and more.

The last comprehensive review of the OCP was in 2014. Port Moody 2050 is our process to update the OCP and gather input from the community. Public engagement began in late 2020 and continued through 2023 with a variety of opportunities to learn and provide feedback including community surveys, dialogue sessions, and a neighbourhood workshop. The input collected helped to shape a draft plan in December 2023. In early 2024, the City made the difficult decision to pause public engagement due to new provincial housing legislation and its potential impacts on the OCP. In April 2025, we resumed public engagement and gathered input on key proposed updates to the OCP via an open house, town hall, online information session, pop up and self-guided walking tour, youth open house, and community survey.
