South Campus Neighbourhood Amendments Process
UBC is undertaking a process to amend the neighbourhood plan for Wesbrook Place (the South Campus Neighbourhood Plan), which was adopted in 2005. Amendments will help achieve a more sustainable community and transfer some of the housing density from UBC Farm, which has been retained for sustainability teaching, research and innovation.

Changes to the existing South Campus Neighbourhood Plan (Wesbrook Place) are needed to bring it into alignment with the Land Use Plan.

In March, 2011 amendments to the Land Use Plan were adopted which remove obstacles to the vision identified by the university community during the three-year Vancouver Campus Plan process. UBC’s Land Use Plan is the “bylaw” establishing general land uses and policies for the entire 1,000-acre campus, with a special focus on non-institutional development.

Two important accomplishments of the Land Use Plan amendments are to:

  • Make it possible to increase housing choices and improve housing affordability for our faculty, staff and students, thereby contributing to the creation of a more sustainable community
  • Transfer housing density from the UBC Farm and other areas to support sustainable community development and UBC’s academic mission


To achieve the vision of the Land Use Plan, UBC develops a neighbourhood plan for new family housing communities. The purpose of the neighbourhood plan is to provide detail on the types and locations of housing, shops, services and amenities.

The South Campus Neighbourhood Plan guides the development of the neighbourhood more commonly known as Wesbrook Place. The plan was adopted in 2005, after a planning process which included guidance and input from a multi-stakeholder working group, Advisory Planning and Technical Advisory committees and public consultation (open houses, media updates, website information, and online feedback).
