After many years of housing policy changes, the residential construction businesses across the province will appreciate the focus on a steady and stable path forward, as reflected in Budget 2020. We will utilize this next year to encourage government to implement the opportunities around development approvals to achieve greater housing availability and to communicate transparently on the newly announced integrated housing processes. We will continue the essential conversation on how we can collaboratively increase housing supply across British Columbia.

The preliminary results from the DAPR Survey are in and here are the top three opportunities, as outlined in the DAPR Report:
1. Removing the requirement for a public hearing for minor amendments.
2. Provide local governments the authority to delegate decision making to staff for minor development variance permit matters (for example, minor variances to parking, siting, etc., that do not affect the use or density and do not create a significant impact on neighbouring properties).
3. Emphasizing the need for staff across departments to communicate, understand, and balance requirements administered through development approval processes.
Thank you to all who provided feedback, this allows us to further fine-tune which issues and options to best pursue and advocate on your behalf.
Please contact Alex Thompson if you would like to still participate in this survey.
