The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is working to improve the steps needed to mitigate risks to new development located near the coast. The newly adopted development permit area will identify earlier on in the approvals process the existing requirements for construction of a new building and/or subdivision. The official community plan amendments outline the purpose and area affected and the zoning bylaw amendment establishes the requirements. Both should be considered together and are located in the Document Library.

The Regional Board gave three readings and adoption to official community plan amendment bylaws for Areas A, E, G and H and zoning bylaw on September 10, 2024.
