To address aging municipal facilities requiring replacement, the District is currently exploring options to redevelop property and better use land to not only address the needed replacement, but benefit the community by creating new housing, services and amenities.
This is an opportunity that only comes around once every 50+ years to reimagine public spaces and design multifunctional sites that enable us to provide more amenities and integrate space for needed services in our community.
Key points to note
- The project is ready to take shape and we want your input. This summer, share your ideas and feedback on the strategy, and this fall please get involved as concepts are developed. Email MunicipalHall@CSaanich.ca or come to an online or in-person open house.
- Minimizing costs to taxpayers is a top priority of this project. Cost estimates will be shared as concepts are defined.
- This project is still in the early stages and no concepts are determined yet. The Hovey site will contain some municipal facilities and hopefully recreation, and there are general principles for the Saanichton Village site to work through with the community.
- The redevelopment is about more than municipal facilities. The community can leverage this rebuild to add housing and amenities, such as recreation, daycare space, commercial or medical offices. It’s also about ensuring 1903 Mount Newton, the largest site in Saanichton Village, contributes to a vibrant community.
