In alignment with Objective 3-D, Courtenay’s OCP recognizes that Courtenay is, and will likely remain as, the primary employment Centre in the Comox Valley. Through a mixture of policies in the OCP’s Land Use and Local Economy Chapters, the City continues to promote itself as a regional employment centre. Policies include:

Land Use Policy 6: Co-locate residential, commercial, institutional, and suitable employment-generating land uses in the Downtown, Town Centres & Urban Corridor, and Neighbourhood Centres.

Objective 3-D: Promote designated Town Centres as regional employment centres

Local Economy Policy 12: Support land uses that provide employment opportunities within or close proximity to the Town and Neighbourhood Centres and Corridors such as intensification of mixed-use office, retail, live work studios and other commercial uses.

Local Economy Policy 14: Work with the local business community and major employers to focus investment, facility and business development in Town and Neighbourhood Centres and Corridors.
