The Regional District Okanagan Similkameen has passed the South Okanagan Regional Growth Strategy through its first and second reading. The RGS was launched in November 2004 and has been developed to address growth management concerns of South Okanagan residents. RDOS chair, Dan Ashton, says staff has worked with the general public, five advisory committees and a number of provincial government agencies to develop the RGS. “The RGS is one of the most important initiatives undertaken by the Regional District. It is a plan for the future and it is a positive legacy that we can leave our children,” says Ashton. In the next few months, Regional District staff will be meeting with local municipal councils and rural area planning commissions to seek approval and agreement before the RGS bylaw adoption in December. “The strategy provides overarching policy for official community plans and it gives us a common agreement in managing growth in the region,” says Ashton. A draft version of the document is available at the RDOS website.
