Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Part B – Growth Strategy

OBJECTIVE

1.4 Protect Natural Areas and Agriculture Lands

Natural areas and agricultural lands support local economies and resilient residential neighbourhoods. The growth strategy envisions the protection of these landscapes.

1.4.1 Natural Areas and Parkland

1.4.2 Agricultural Lands

Natural areas and parkland provide ecosystem services and benefits to Surrey residents’ quality of life in all eight communities. They are not intended for development.

Agriculture is an integral part of Surrey’s economy and identity. The Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) comprises over a third of Surrey’s land base. Agricultural lands support food security and thousands of jobs.
