Project Background
The Resort Municipality of Whistler is developing a neighbourhood plan for Whistler Creek West.
The plan will develop a vision for the neighbourhood's future over the next 25 years, supporting diverse housing options, employment space, transportation, and community amenities. The plan will be used as the basis for any proposed land-use and development changes.
Whistler's Official Community Plan prioritizes Whistler Creek for a neighbourhood plan due to its potential for increased housing diversity and higher residential density. This vibrant area, which began as the base for Whistler Mountain and the first gondola in 1966, has evolved into a mixed-use community with residential options, shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities. Its proximity to the Creekside Village commercial hub, Highway 99, the core transit network, and major assets like Nita and Alpha Lakes enhance its appeal.
The neighbourhood plan and future revitalization efforts will focus on improving interconnectivity and pedestrian access through quality urban design while also increasing housing density and diversity, aiming to preserve Whistler Creek's unique character while accommodating future growth and needs.
Neighbourhood plans guide future development for an area, including the development standards, locations of public spaces, and transportation solutions. Neighbourhood plans are linked to the higher-level planning of the Official Community Plan and the regulatory detail of a zoning bylaw.
