Land Use
The qRD Planning Service prepares land use plans, policies and bylaws for consideration by the qRD Board of Directors. In addition, the professional planners in the department have a number of important responsibilities:
- Act as a resource for planning and development applications
- Respond to inquiries and applications related to the use and development of land
- Administer land use bylaws and policies
- Provide opportunities for public engagement
- Oversee planning initiatives within four electoral areas, including Texada and Savary Islands.
The Planning Service is funded by taxpayers within Electoral Areas A, B, C, and D (Texada Island). The City of Powell River and Tla’amin Nation have their own planning departments, and Electoral Area E (Lasqueti Island) receives planning services from the Islands Trust.
For all planning-related inquiries, please call 604-485-2260 or email planning@qathet.ca to speak with Planning staff or to schedule an appointment.
