On July 24, 2018, Council approved the Jericho Lands Policy Planning Program, which is the start of a two-year process to create a policy statement.

The policy statement will establish principles, objectives, and policies on: reconciliation, affordable housing, land use, density, height, public benefits, transportation, built form, character, sustainability, infrastructure, and phases of development.
