Consultation has concluded
We are updating our sewer service area Development Cost Charges (DCCs)
The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) implements development cost charges (DCCs) to pay for projects that increase capacity of our wastewater facilities. The RDN last updated wastewater DCCs in 2017. Provincial guidelines suggest local governments review their DCCs every five years.
The RDN is updating its Wastewater DCC rates and amending the two bylaws that implement these rates for the areas of Northern and Southern Communities. Northern Communities include Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and parts of Electoral Areas E and G. Southern Communities include Nanaimo and Lantzville.
The purpose of the DCC rate review is to ensure there is an equitable distribution of costs associated with the provision of wastewater services required to support the projected population growth in the area. Updating the rate structure will be implemented through bylaw amendments.
Public Engagement
The RDN will be hosting virtual public information sessions in Spring 2022 to present information to development industry stakeholders and the public to learn more about DCC’s and how the new rates have been calculated.
