City of Campbell River Council is moving forward with a plan for a project on the 3.5 acre downtown waterfront site

The City of Campbell River has approved the proposal from the Waterfront Task Force to develop the 3.5-acre site on downtown’s waterfront into an 87,000 square foot facility and public park space. The proposed facility would see the relocation of the Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences, along with other salmon-based organizations reorganized into what’s being called the Salmon Centre of Excellence, as well as the relocation of the Discovery Passage Aquarium, a conference hall, meeting rooms and more. This project is estimated to cost approximately $30 million.

A new multi-family project is being proposed for the 190 acres in the Lang Creek area of Powell River

Owners of 190 acres of land near Lang Creek have applied to the Powell River Regional District to amend Electoral Area C’s official community plan to allow for development of a new rural neighbourhood south of town. Sandstone Creek Properties applied to the regional district in August in order to amend the plan. If the application is approved, the project would be one of the largest rural housing developments the regional district has seen in decades and could allow up to 75 lots with sizes ranging between one and three acres.
