The City of Coquitlam is updating the existing 2008 City Centre Area Plan (CCAP) to look at creating higher densities, mixed use, and pedestrian-friendly development along the Evergreen Line stations in City Centre.
City Council approved a Community Support and Recovery Plan (CSRP), that includes immediate relief for taxpayers and a recovery fund to address the pandemic’s short- and long-term financial impact on all sectors of the community.
The City is developing a strategic Environmental Sustainability Plan. This plan will incorporate the City’s environmental goals and objectives and supporting programs and policies into one overarching strategy.
The City of Coquitlam is developing a comprehensive strategy to address heritage of all kinds - from historic buildings and landscapes to intangibles such as community identity - and guide how it is protected and celebrated in Coquitlam in the years to come.
The first phase of research and analysis is complete, and the next step includes engaging the community for input as we prepare a draft strategy in early 2021.
Sheffield Park is a new neighbourhood-level park site located near the intersection of Chandler Street and Sheffield Avenue in the Smiling Creek neighbourhood. This future park is being designed with the community in mind.
The City is updating the Sports Field Strategy, a document that guides decision making on accessibility, maintenance and investment in our sports fields. With the 2013-2023 Sports Field Strategy almost built out, Coquitlam is kicking off public engagement to shape an updated strategy to guide future field use and investment from 2022 to 2032.
Do you use sports fields in Coquitlam? We want to hear from you. Don't use sports fields in Coquitlam? We want to hear from you, too! Feedback on how we manage and maintain our sports fields helps us meet the needs of residents and ensure our amenities and facilities are accessible and inclusive to everyone.

The Southwest Housing Review (SWHR) is a multi-year planning effort to support the provision of more diverse housing options in Southwest Coquitlam. The project consists of four streams of work, which are:
- A review of neighbourhood pockets where residents have come forward requesting a review of the land use designation of their neighbourhood;
- Creation of a Corridor Development Strategy (CDS) for key arterial streets;
- A review of the potential expansion of the recently updated Housing Choices Program into other areas of Southwest Coquitlam; and
- A review of infill housing options in single-family areas to further address the policy directions in the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan.
