We are creating a plan for the area around the Rupert and Renfrew SkyTrain stations. Area plans are policy documents that shape growth and change and cover a number of topics.
- Housing
- Transportation
- Community facilities
This area plan will build on the Vancouver Plan (2022).
The Vancouver Plan is a long-term strategy and vision to guide growth and change across the city. It provides a framework for more detailed area plans (such as the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan) that will address specific opportunities and challenges at the neighbourhood scale.
Key opportunities for the area plan
- Advancing reconciliation
- Adding more housing choice
- Protecting Still Creek
- Supporting job growth
- Making it easier to walk, cycle, or roll through the area
Additional opportunities will be identified in collaboration with the:
- xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations
- Residents
- Local businesses
- Community organizations

What's happeningThe Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan implementation phase have began
On July 8, 2025, Council approved the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan, to build growth and change in the area over the next 25 years. It builds on the Vancouver Plan (2022) and reflects community priorities around:
- Housing
- Transportation
- Public amenities
- Job space
- Ecological restoration of Still Creek
With the plan now approved, we will move into the implementation phase. This will involve a combination of site-by-site rezonings, City-initiated rezonings, and development permits under existing zoning.
