Through the public consultation process, residents expressed a strong desire for a neighbourhood centre that serves many of the daily shopping and service needs of the community, with neighbourhood-serving retail and services such as a grocery store.

As property owner, the City has a vital interest in achieving this desired result. The goal is to provide a unique shopping experience with a mix of retail and services that serve local residents.

The City’s Parks, Recreation and Culture (PRC) Master Plan has identified a community centre as an important asset in Northeast Coquitlam, to be developed in the future.

For more information about the community centre, visit the Northeast Community Centre webpage.

The City will now take the steps necessary to implement the PCNC Master Plan including:

• Development Phasing Strategy - To determine how and when parcels will be released for sale. This is essential to ensuring the right mix of commercial uses that both serves the daily needs of the residents and also allows the businesses to thrive.
• Detailed design of the community centre and public spaces - Critical to establishing a strong neighbourhood identity that will provide functional and well-designed public spaces.
