About the Project

The ACRD is currently updating the South Long Beach (Area C) Official Community Plan (OCP). An OCP establishes a community vision over a short- (five year) and long-term (10 to 20 year) period while addressing topics such as land use, housing, growth, and the environment. An OCP helps determine where people will live, work, and play, and how they move around.

The purpose of this OCP update is to establish a plan which better reflects the community’s needs and interests, while also aligning with updated provincial legislation, and other ACRD plans and initiatives.

The OCP Area

The OCP area comprises approximately 6% (27,219 ha) of the entire Long Beach Electoral Area (EA) "C" and represents the settled portion of the northwest side of Barkley Sound. This area includes the rural communities of Salmon Beach, Millstream, Port Albion, and Ittatsoo Bay.

To view the current OCP land use designations, please use this interactive ACRD web map.

EA "C" is part of the West Coast Region, which is situated on the traditional territories of the hiškʷiiʔatḥ (Hesquiaht First Nation), ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ (Ahousaht), ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation), Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ (Ucluelet First Nation), and tukʷaaʔatḥ (Toquaht Nation), with Maa-nulth Treaty Settlement Lands neighbouring the area.

The OCP area is situated over the traditional territories of the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ, Toquaht Nation, and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, and neighbours Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government and Toquaht Nation Treaty Settlement Lands.
