B.C. Premier David Eby says the changes will help speed up provincial permitting approvals and home construction in the face of a housing crisis.
The province has unveiled a “one-stop-shop” approach to provincial permitting to help speed up approvals and construction to build more homes in the face of a housing crisis.
Homebuilding in B.C. can require multiple provincial permit applications involving different ministries and processes, including permits related to riparian area approvals, water licences, transportation approvals, road rezonings, contaminated sites, and requirements for heritage inspections, according to the province.
“This is more than just a single place to drop off your application,” Eby said. “Our goal is an expedited process where information doesn’t have to be re-submitted, reconsidered and redetermined by multiple decision-makers throughout the process.”
