Share your perspective and questions - our Coastal Risk survey will be open for you from October 21 to November 17, 2024.
Your input will help us shape coastal risk planning and communications in the coming months and years.We will share the outcomes of the survey.
Project Background
The Regional District of Nanaimo’s (RDN) coastal areas are home to many residents, essential services like roads and utilities, diverse and sensitive ecosystems, and some of our most scenic landscapes. However, these areas are also the most vulnerable to coastal hazards such as flooding, coastal erosion and storm events that impact both public and private lands. We’re initiating a conversation about our changing coast, focusing on current experiences and how we can prepare for a sustainable future.
In the RDN, coastal hazards like flooding, erosion and storm events are damaging homes and infrastructure, causing road closures, washing away agricultural land, disrupting supply chains and impacting our environment. These coastal risks affect our safety, economy and quality of life—and they are increasing, impacting many people living and working in our region.
To address these challenges, the RDN is completing a Coastal Risk Assessment. This assessment will identify areas where coastal risks are high, both now and in the future. As part of this work, we would like to learn more about how community members are affected by coastal hazards, the questions and concerns you have about coastal risk and how we can continue this conversation.
Study Area
The study area for the Coastal Risk Assessment encompasses all of the RDN, with the exception of the City of Nanaimo and Snuneymuxw First Nation Reserve lands, which are being assessed through a separate process.
Timeline
Planning for our coastal future is ongoing. The timelines below illustrate the current Engagement Process and Coastal Risk Assessment Process which are happening at the same time to shape how we continue to work together to address the challenges of coastal risk.

Hi Craig. Thank you for your question. We can certainly look into your inquiry. Can you confirm whether the area you're referring to is Seacrest Place in the Town of Qualicum Beach or Seacrest Road in Craig Bay, Nanoose?
