Our City, Our Homes Survey

Thanks for your interest in the City’s housing projects! This survey starts with a few initial general questions about housing in New Westminster in the future. There are also more specific questions about the different programs underway. 

You can skip any questions.

The Our City, Our Homes initiatives will guide changes over the coming years as the City makes it easier for all types of new homes to be built, both today and in the future. This involves changes to the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw, focusing on areas around Transit Oriented Development Areas (near SkyTrain Stations), expanding infill housing (e.g. multi-plexes, laneway houses, etc.) and townhouse options, and streamlining processes for non-profit affordable housing developments.

These initiatives will be informed by community input and in alignment with Council’s Strategic Priorities Plan, and the new Provincial housing regulations. The initiatives are also informed by five overarching housing goals:

Please share your thoughts on the proposed Our City, Our Homes initiatives by filling out this survey. Your input will be used to help shape changes to our Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

Note: The survey is only related to changes on the mainland of New Westminster. The City is not currently making changes to housing regulations in Queensborough, because more research is needed on infrastructure like water and sewer systems to see if the area can support more housing.

The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and will be open until end of day on March 9.
