3. COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING 
 
3.1 MA-RZ-2015.1 (CRD) - Anson Road 
 
Carl Bunnin, Chair SGIHC, presented a slide presentation that showed the 
water lot and detailed the rationale for the proposed rezoning and the 
need for a new docking facility. 
 
There are 6 members on the Southern Gulf Islands Harbours Commission 
(SGIHC) who are responsible for eleven docks in the Salish Sea which, 
have been identified as an essential service for the southern gulf islands. 
 
The CRD obtained the water lease in 2009 along with a double road 
allowance. 
 
This area is an all-weather anchorage and construction of a public dock in 
this area is supported in the Mayne Island Community Plan. 
 
There were a number of slides that indicated the lack of public docks on 
Mayne Island relative to the other islands and Mr. Bunnin emphasized that 
the SGIHC recognised the need on Mayne Island and was totally 
supportive of the proposed dock expansion. 
 
Highlights of presentation included the following: 
 There is less environmental damage with a dock as compared with 
anchoring boats; 
 Additional dockage would positively impact on property values and 
facilitate transportation between islands for commerce and tourism; 
 Public
