UBC is engaging the community in a process to update the Wesbrook Place Neighbourhood Plan, with a focus on a new area of the neighbourhood, Wesbrook Place South, which will become a hub of housing, amenities, open space and community activity.
This is the first major step in implementing Campus Vision 2050, the long-range plan for how UBC's Vancouver campus will change and grow to support the needs of the university, its students, faculty, residents, staff, and Musqueam.
UBC builds neighbourhoods to make vibrant communities, to provide a place for the UBC community to live, work, learn and play, and to build a financial endowment to support UBC’s academic mission.
The Wesbrook Place Neighbourhood Plan needs to be updated to implement UBC’s Campus Vision 2050, as well as the Land Use Plan, Housing Action Plan, Neighbourhood Climate Action Plan, and other related plans and policies.
This first phase of engagement explores four preliminary directions for Wesbrook Place South:
- Complete the network of neighbourhood parks, including a new ecological park at the forest edge
- Provide retail and amenities to support everyday life in Wesbrook Place South
- Enable more housing and prioritize a livable, human-scaled neighbourhood experience
- Complete Wesbrook's mobility network with transit, neighbourhood streets and greenways
Get Involved
Feedback from the community, together with further technical analysis, will evolve the preliminary directions into a draft plan, the major features of which will be shared with the community for input in the next phase of community engagement early in 2025.
The lived experiences and perspectives of community members like you are essential inputs in the process. This engagement builds upon the outcomes of Campus Vision 2050, shaped by the invaluable input provided by UBC’s communities and Musqueam over a two-year process.
