Gambier Island Local Trust Committee (LTC) over land for park use in lieu of 
dedication of specified parkland to the SCRD. No Official Community Plan 
amendments would be required. 
 
Planner Zupanec explained that the public hearing would be an opportunity for trustees 
to hear peoples’ opinions on the proposed bylaw. The public hearing binder was 
available for review on the table at the front of the room. 
 
Planner Zupanec provided background information on the proposed bylaw and 
inquired if the public had any questions.  
 
Michelle Hall-McCaffrey of Sea Ranch wondered, once the right of way is in place for 
the park area, if the trail comes under someone else’s jurisdiction. 
 
Planner Zupanec explained that the land would still be owned by the Strata. The bylaw 
gives a legal right of way for use of the parkland, and Gambier Island Local Trust 
Committee and Sunshine Coast Regional District to maintain and manage that. 
Planner Zupanec recommended, if there are already parks objectives in the Sea 
Ranch strata documents, that the Strata communicate with the SCRD and Gambier 
Island LTC so there is an opportunity for collaboration and if there is a need for early 
consultation. 
 
Planner Zupanec reviewed the bylaw process and next steps. It is anticipated that final 
reading would happen in the fall. She asked if there were any questions.
