RDN Board Adopts Coastal Flood Hazard Development Permit Area

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) Board has approved the adoption of the bylaws to guide new building construction and subdivision in the coastal floodplain at its September 10, 2024, meeting. The official community plan and zoning bylaw amendments will provide residents and developers with clear direction, earlier in the development approvals process to help reduce the potential impact of coastal flooding on new homes. This change applies only to electoral areas A, E, G and H.
