2. PROPOSED BYLAW NOS. 145, 146 and 147 
Planner Eggen reported that a copy of the Public Hearing Notice was advertised in two 
consecutive editions of The Coast Reporter, on May 14 and May 21, 2021, and noted that all 
notification requirements had been completed.  She advised that the Public Hearing binder is 
available for review during this Hearing on the Islands Trust website under “Gambier Projects”. 
To comment on the proposed bylaws, the public could contact northphsub@islandstrust.bc.ca 
or provide verbal submissions before the end of the Public Hearing. 
The purpose of Proposed Bylaw No. 145, if adopted, is to amend the Gambier Associated 
Islands Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 109 by doing three things:  
 establishing two new development permit areas for the protection of the natural 
environment, ecosystems and biodiversity:  
 Development Permit Area 1: Riparian Areas on Orchid Creek, Bowyer Island, and  
 Development Permit Area 2: Streamside Protection on an un-named creek at the 
southern end of Anvil Island. The new DPAs would require that a development permit 
be obtained from the Islands Trust prior to undertaking development within 30 metres 
of the creek.  
 and updating Development Permit Area 1: Riparian Areas language to align with the recent 
amendments to the Provincial Riparian Areas Protection Regulation. U
