Southwest Coquitlam Neighbourhood Plans

Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan

The Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan is part of the CWOCP and has been guided by high-level City policies which foster the creation of compact, complete communities which will accommodate the City’s growing and changing population.

Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan

The Burquitlam Neighbourhood is poised for change. Not only is a new rapid transit station proposed for Burquitlam, but factors such as its proximity to Simon Fraser University, its alignment along Clarke Road, rapid bus service to the Lougheed SkyTrain Station and Coquitlam’s Regional Town Centre.

Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan

The Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan is a comprehensive land use and servicing plan for those lands within the City of Coquitlam that lie within a radius of the Lougheed SkyTrain Station.
