Smart Bylaws Guide – Whistler
Starting with its Comprehensive Development Strategy in the
1990's, Whistler has moved towards integrating progressively more
detailed plans based on a sustainability model. The culmination of
this approach is the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan. After
achieving the goal of becoming a world class destination resort
community, Whistler's focus is now on creating a strategy that will
address key issues such as the continued provision of employee
housing and infrastructure, and environmental, business and social
sustainability. The Sustainability Plan will consolidate and
supercede existing policy documents such as the Comprehensive
Development Strategy, and will integrate sustainability into all
aspects of community development. Five test scenarios for the future
have been developed, and have been put before the community for
discussion.
The following plans and approaches contribute to Whistler's
commitment to integrated planning:
Whistler has also adopted The Natural Step framework as an
approach to corporate planning, integrating The Natural Step into
the Guiding Principles of the Whistler Environmental Strategy:
