Development and Subdivision Applications In Process
The following properties are sites where applications have been received by the District and development is proposed to occur. We endeavor to update this site weekly on Friday.
Questions? email planning@csaanich.ca
Feedback? The best opportunity to voice support or concerns would be at a scheduled Public Hearing for the project. If you would like to contact Council about one of these projects, there are various ways to do so listed here.
As the District is doing its part to avoid public gatherings, "Opportunities for Public Input" and "Public Hearings" will be held during a virtual meeting with an opportunity to speak. For more information on speaking at a virtual meeting, please call 250-652-4444.
