Notice of Flood Hazard Mitigation Bylaw

The RDN has completed a series of technical studies to update important information of flood hazards in the region. This information is now being used to form part of a scheduled bylaw update to help reduce flood risks for new construction within designated floodplain areas.

On July 11, 2023, the Board is scheduled to consider adopting Flood Hazard Mitigation Bylaw, which will be included on the regular Board meeting agenda.

The Regional District of Nanaimo Flood Hazard Mitigation Bylaw No. 1872, 2023 (Bylaw 1872) is a bylaw to update floodplain mapping information and to align with best practices in its application within Electoral Areas A, C, E, F, G and H.

If adopted Bylaw 1872 will repeal and replace Regional District of Nanaimo Flood Management Bylaw No. 1469, 2006.
