Official Community Plan (OCP) Renewal
The Village of New Denver is renewing its Official Community Plan (OCP), which was last updated in 2007. The OCP provides a long-term vision and policy framework to guide decisions about land use, housing, transportation, parks, the environment, infrastructure, and community services.
The renewal will consider the needs and priorities of the community today and help establish a framework for the next decade and beyond. It will also bring the 2021 Boundary Extension Area into the Village’s OCP land use planning framework.
The Village of New Denver OCP Engagement Hub is online HERE.
We Want to Hear From You!
The first phase of community engagement is underway. Share your input now to help shape the draft of New Denver’s renewed OCP, which is expected to be available for public review in spring 2027.
There are two ways to participate online:
- Complete the OCP survey. Share your ideas, priorities, and perspectives.
- Take part in the Crowdsource Mapping Activity. Identify places in New Denver that are important to you, highlight areas of concern, and share ideas for specific locations.
The online survey is open until November 23, 2026. Paper copies are also available at the Village Office for those who prefer to provide input offline. If assistance is required, please contact the Village office.

What Happens Next?
