Consultation has concluded

Project Background

The City of Campbell River explored updating the Official Community Plan's Hazard Conditions (Steep Slope) Development Permit Area Guidelines. The proposed amendments have been abandoned at this time and the existing Hazard Conditions (Steep Slope) Development Permit Guidelines, including the exemption criteria for managing vegetation, remain in effect.

Prior to starting any work within a Hazard Conditions (Steep Slope) Development Permit Area including cutting trees or managing vegetation on a steep slope, contact Development Services to determine if a permit is required or if you need to fill out an exemption form at 250-286-5725 or email planning@campbellriver.ca.
