The Hornby Island Local Trust Committee approved an Official Community Plan amendments review project charter on June 10, 2022, after requesting that staff add two consultant-led workshops, including one in person in September.[1]

The committee also added a review of development that may affect steep-slope and sensitive Gary Oak ecosystems between Central and Euston roads, and a review of the aquifer classification system, to its projects list.[1]

Trustees requested a business case for a second phase of the project charter.[1]

Regional Planning Manager Heather Kauer said the project’s $15,000 budget assumed a consultant would draft the bylaw and take it through first and second reading and a public hearing, but did not assume a community information meeting.[1]
