Sustainable Planning and Community Development Department

Victoria is making big moves to respond to the housing and climate crises through the update of the Official Community Plan. Are you passionate about housing solutions, climate action, or community vibrancy and resilience? The City of Victoria Community Planning team is offering an exciting opportunity to support a major, citywide planning process and gain hands-on experience in all these subject areas.

The Community Planning team is responsible for the management and administration of the Official Community Plan and citywide policies that guide decisions related to housing, development, public space and community infrastructure.

As a Co-op Student, you will support the team in the 10-year Official Community Plan Update, including engagement and data analysis, policy development, and plan drafting.
