Local Trust Committee 
Community Information Meeting Notes

Planner Kris Nichols introduced the intention of Bylaw No. 246 
with respect to the Development Permit Area (DPA) 4 – Elevated 
Groundwater Catchment Area. Approximately 71 properties on 
Galiano have DPA 4 applied to them. Added in to Bylaw No. 246 
are some statutory requirements that were not included in the 
original provision. The intent of the amendment was to improve 
clarity and applicability. The revised bylaw has been updated 
 
with the following additions: legislative authority; special 
conditions and objectives that justify the designation section; 
applicability section; development permit exemptions section; 
and an improved and more detailed guidelines section.

water and apply to areas over 140 meters. Those properties that 
had the DPA 4 still have the proposed revised DPA apply to 
them.

was how do these changes apply to me, and when one must

development permit.
