Step 1: Plan update kick-off

On October 30, 2023, the Cloverdale Town Centre Plan Update officially kicked off! This was endorsed by Council in Corporate Report R176 calling for an update to the existing 2019 plan. The update followed the BC government's announced groundbreaking of Cloverdale Hospital. This initiated Step 1 of the plan update.

Step 1 was our background & scoping phase. During this phase, new projects and developments were announced, which shifted the project scope. The new projects and developments included:

• the groundbreaking of Cloverdale Hospital;
• the future expansion of KPU Tech campus;
• re-energizing of Cloverdale Fairgrounds; and
• the recent Provincial Housing Legislation.

Because of these new developments, an understanding of their needs and requirements was necessary. To that end, we completed background studies, spoke with key stakeholders, and met internally to devise a strategic plan of action. Now as we enter Step 2, we are looking to refresh our vision, objectives, and growth concept for Cloverdale Town Centre as it becomes a destination for health and wellness, education, and entertainment.
