Tsawwassen Area Plan Review

Overview

Tsawwassen Area Plan Review

A process has been initiated to prepare a new area plan for Tsawwassen by May 2010. The new area plan will replace the current area plan, which was adopted by Council 16 years ago, in 1992. The Tsawwassen Area Plan Review is being facilitated by the Tsawwassen Area Plan (TAP) Steering Committee, which was recently appointed by Council in March 2009.

A public consultation process which featured five public forums is now complete. The forums were held to obtain your views on the future of the community. These views, the public comments and draft policy directions have now come together in an "Ideas" document { pdf 339 KB }. You are encouraged to attend the next series of public forums to let us know whether the Ideas document includes the issues that are important to you and to discuss future policy directions.
