Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Part B – Growth Strategy

Growth Strategy

Surrey is projected to reach one million residents by 2050. To accommodate and manage this growth, the City needs to plan for more housing, services, community amenities, public infrastructure, and employment opportunities. The growth strategy considers how the City will increase housing supply, concentrate density near transit, and support diverse, complete communities while responding to Surrey’s unique local needs. It provides a framework to guide decision making, secondary planning, and policy development. Planning for growth using this framework ensures that Surrey can accommodate growth in a sustainable, resilient, and community-focused way. The growth strategy is not parcel-based. It conceptually illustrates Surrey’s future growth. It does not convey future development potential. The growth strategy is implemented through Land Use Designations (see Part C) and Policies (see Part D).

The Growth Strategy describes how the City will accommodate population growth, intensify employment lands, and protect natural areas.
