Northeast False Creek Joint Working Group

The Northeast False Creek Joint Working Group (NEFC) had now ended. 

When the group was active, it advanced policy for Northeast False Creek and acted as a forum for developers to present preliminary options on the future development of their sites. It screened these proposals and provided applicants with feedback to consider before submitting a formal rezoning application.

In October 2015, Council approved the replacement of the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts and the future development of the NEFC. Council also approved the replacement of the NEFC Joint Working Group with a stewardship group that will bring a broader citywide focus to help advise on detailed area planning and the engagement process.

In 2016, staff brought forward the terms of reference for the Northeast False Creek Stewardship Group for Council's consideration.

How we work

The Northeast False Creek Joint Working Group will provide a forum for developers to present preliminary options on the future development of their sites. This review will provide the Joint Working Group with an early screening of proposals and applicants with feedback to consider prior to submitting a formal rezoning application.

The Working Group is not a decision-making body. No votes will be taken in the meetings. The work, analysis, and recommendations of the Joint Working Group will be reported to Council at key points prior to Council making a decision. City Council will make the decisions on policies.

Meeting frequency

The Northeast False Creek Joint Working Group meetings are on the first Thursday of each month. If there are time-sensitive agenda items, the group may agree to meet for additional meetings when required.
