At the campaign launch on April 15, 2026, Harvie said the organization believes in gentle, community-led growth and that the feedback on the current Official Community Plan was that it was not meeting the mark, by the North Delta Reporter's account. The Reporter noted that the current Council, all elected under the organization's banner, had approved that plan on July 8, 2024 under provincial legislation that required a new plan by the end of 2025. The platform also promises more opportunities for public input on major development proposals before a final decision. It names no change to zoning bylaws. 4 PUBLISHED COMMITMENTS ## What they say they will do - ### Review the Official Community Plan with stronger public input The platform promises to review Delta's Official Community Plan with stronger public input.
