]]> At its last meeting for 2024, the Renovate the Public Hearing Project Committee continued its review of the first draft of its final report.

Building on the previous committee meeting, which considered legislation requiring a public hearing on a local-land-use bylaw, the committee moved on to discuss other forms of engagement. Local governments are frequently using public-engagement tools—such as open houses and surveys—on land-use bylaws. The committee considered the need for new legislation to address these other forms of public engagement—and discussed how they should relate to the public hearing.

The committee plans to meet in early 2025 to review a revised draft of its report and to consider it for publication. Please visit the project webpage for more information about the Renovate the Public Hearing Project.

]]> BCLI’s Renovate the Public Hearing Project Committee met on November 15 to discuss the first draft of the final report following the conclusion of the public consultation. During the meeting, the Committee focused on discussing the current place of public hearings in light of government reform. Last year, amendments to the Local Government Act no longer permitted local governments to hold public hearings where (1) a proposed zoning bylaw permits residential development that is consistent with an existing official community plan, and (2) a proposed bylaw relates to small-scale multi-family housing developments. These amendments are important considerations for the Project which explores improvements to B.C. laws on public engagement on land use.
