Development Permit and Temporary Use Permit Areas Standardization

The Development Permit and Temporary Use Permit Areas Standardization Project is now complete and this page will be archived. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this project a success!

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is reviewing development permit areas (DPAs) and temporary use permit areas (TUPs) within its electoral areas. This project will include a revision of existing DPAs and TUP areas for consistency and standardization in order to streamline the development process.

Join in and help us achieve our goal

Residents, development consultants, engineers, biologists and other consulting professionals are invited to learn about what the RDN is proposing to streamline DPAs and TUP areas. Learn, offer input and participate in the process by providing direction and insight.
