Beaufort OCP Survey #1

The creation of a new Official Community Plan (OCP) for Beaufort has begun and your input helps ensure it’s focused on what matters most. The current Beaufort OCP was adopted in 2012 and has been influencing local land use for nearly 15 years. This OCP update was identified as a priority action in the Board of Director’s 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.

An Official Community Plan (OCP) helps guide decisions about how land is used in a community. It may cover topics such as housing, agriculture, and the local economy. An OCP is different from a Zoning Bylaw in that it guides overall community direction. It does not set specific zoning rules. The purpose of this survey is to help us understand: 

  • what the people of Beaufort want to talk more about
  • what you think is most important for Beaufort, and
  • how you want to move forward with your neighbours.

The following survey questions have been created with the guidance of the Beaufort Advisory Planning Commission (APC) and were discussed at the Beaufort Town Hall meeting on June 14, 2026 where community members shared their thoughts on which survey questions should be included. 

Please note that you DO NOT need to answer all of the questions. The survey results will be shared with the community. All identifying names and any disrespectful comments directed at individuals will be removed in accordance with the ACRD Respectful Spaces Bylaw. 

The survey will be open until the end of the day on July 26th. Paper copies are available at the ACRD office, 3008 Fifth Avenue, Port Alberni.

The personal information collected in this survey is collected in accordance with Section 26 (c, d, e) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) for the purposes of consideration regarding the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Beaufort Official Community Plan Update Project only. Direct any questions about the collection, use and disclosure of this information to foi@acrd.bc.ca.
