In 1997, the Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors adopted the previous Lac La Hache Area Official Community Plan (OCP). It is recommended that OCP's be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they reflect community goals and aspirations and reflect current government policies.
In 2014, the review of the Lac La Hache Area OCP commenced with consultation occurring throughout the Plan development with the plan Advisory Committee.
The policies presented in the Lac La Hache OCP are structured to address the following goals. The Community Goals are not listed by priority, although maintaining the rural character of the community is an overriding focus.
