The purpose of this project is to review and update the Savary Island Community Plan to provide a refreshed vision, goals, objectives, and policies that reflect current values and needs of the community.
An Official Community Plan (OCP) sets out a long-term vision for a community and establishes community goals and policies for achieving that vision. An OCP provides a policy framework to guide land use and development decision-making of the regional district, other government agencies, and landowners. The current Savary Island OCP is almost 20 years old and is due for an update.

Past Engagement
Phase 1 – Open House and Farmer’s Market (August 26 & 27, 2024)
The project team hosted an on-island open house and attended the last Farmer’s Market of the season to let people know about the project and get a sense of what community members envision for Savary.
Phase 2 – Online Vision Survey (October 17-31, 2024)
The engagement summary report for the Phase 2 Vision Survey is now available. The survey, which was available from October 17 to 31, 2024, was created to explore property owners’ hopes and concerns for the future of the island and to check in with the community to understand whether the 2007 OCP’s vision and goals remain relevant today.
Phase 2 – Project Introduction Webinar (December 5, 2024)
The qRD hosted a webinar on December 5, 2024, to introduce the Savary Island Community Plan Review & Update, go over the project timeline, and answer questions from the public. A recording of the webinar is available below.
Phase 2 – Online Group Discussions (February 18-20, 2025)
Between February 18 and 20, the project team hosted three online group discussions to hear from Savary community members about how to address the Island’s most pressing challenges.
