RDN Electoral Area H Parks Development Cost Charges Waiver Bylaw

Consultation has concluded

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) adopted a Development Cost Charges (DCC) bylaw for community park development in Electoral Area H on April 12, 2022. DCCs are fees collected from land developers, on a user pay basis, to help fund the cost of the eligible park improvements to service new development.

The Local Government Act provides the option for local governments to implement a waiver and or reduction bylaw to exclude eligible developments from paying DCCs or to reduce the DCCs payable. The RDN Board reviewed the options and have introduced a waiver bylaw for Electoral Area H community parks DCCs. “Electoral Area ‘H’ Not-for-Profit Rental Housing Community Parks Development Cost Charge Waiver Bylaw No. 1937, 2025” waives DCC fees for Not-for-Profit Rental Housing developments.

As part of the Development Cost Charge (DCC) process, the RDN is sought feedback from the community about a DCC waiver bylaw, primarily from developers and home builders in RDN Electoral Area H. On March 24, 2026 the RDN Board adopted Bylaw No. 1937. To watch the adoption or read the Board report please visit rdn-pub.escribemeetings.com. The adopted bylaw and other park regulation bylaws can be found at rdn.bc.ca/general-information-and-regulations.
