Lumby’s Official Community Plan – OCP

THE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN – (OCP) is a legal instrument – you can find it in the Local Government Act

Before any prison can be erected in Lumby – it must conform with the OCP (That’s the law! ) If it’s out of the Village, then the rural OCP applies. There is nothing in the Village OCP that supports the development of prison in Lumby’s vision.

Lumby’s current OCP was created in 2005 and it is stipulated that it would be reviewed in 5 years. The Village of Lumby OCP is overdue for review. Download it here: http://www.lumby.ca/pdf/lumby_ocp.pdf
