We’re nearing the end of Abbotsford’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Update process!

To accommodate growth in the coming decades, Abbotsford is updating its OCP and using community input to help shape the future of the City.

The OCP is the City’s key planning tool and was last updated in 2016. The Abbotsforward 2050 OCP update process is building on what's working well and looking at ways to better address the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow.

OCP and Zoning Amendment Bylaws granted first & second reading!

We’re nearing the end of the Abbotsforward 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) update process. On October 21, 2025, Council gave first and second reading to the OCP amending bylaw and related Zoning Bylaw amendments.

A Public Hearing for the proposed bylaws is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., November 25, 2025, in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium (32315 South Fraser Way). More information will be available online closer to the Public Hearing date.
