Town of View Royal Invites Community Input on the Western Gateway Community Corridor in Next Phase of OCP Engagement
October 3, 2025

The Town of View Royal is updating its Official Community Plan (OCP), through a process called View Royal 2050: Our Future View. The OCP is the community’s long-term blueprint that guides decisions about land use, housing, transportation, parks, the environment, and the economy. Input from our community plays an important role in shaping how our town grows and develops over the coming decades.
A key focus of our current phase of engagement is the Western Gateway Community Corridor, the area along Island Highway from the Colwood border to the Atkins Interchange (see map below). This corridor is an important multi-modal route, providing access to the Blink RapidBus line, Galloping Goose Trail, and surrounding neighbourhoods. The Town is exploring future land use options here, including opportunities for new housing, businesses, services, and employment space.
