Oliver Town Council instructed staff earlier in the year to engage the public and industrial park land owners in a dialogue on rezoning. That engagement strategy came before council this week.

1. Research and prepare a Discussion Paper in April

2. Gather Industrial Land owners into a focus group at the end of April

3. Hold a community meeting at the end of April – water billing flyer will be used to inform the public. As well public notices will be published.

4. Consultant, Urban System, will report back to council in May

At the moment, current bylaws allow gravel crushing and asphalt mixing plants in the M2 Heavy Industrial area adjacent to Sawmill Road.

The present council asked that staff engage the owners and the community in a discussion of the future of heavy industrial uses of such land.

Time to ensure  you are heard. Watch for notices in local media.
