Greetings from the Qualicum Beach Planning Department,
 
Please join Town staff and Council on Tuesday, December 1 at 7:00pm at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre for a Public Information Meeting on Phase 1 of the Waterfront Master Plan. There will be a final presentation of the Phase 1 report by the consultants, SNC-Lavalin Inc., and a presentation from Town staff on the upcoming Phase 2 of the project.
 
What: Waterfront Master Plan Phase 1 - Public Information Meeting
When: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 7pm.
Where: Qualicum Beach Civic Centre, 747 Jones Street
Who: Everyone is welcome
 
The Waterfront Master Plan Phase 1  (Coastal Processes and Assessment Report) is available for public review and comment. The report assembles detailed science-based information on the waterfront coastal processes, including water levels, tides, storm surges, waves and currents and the resulting effects and implications to the waterfront area.
 
The Phase 1 report, including six appendices, is available for download on the Town of Qualicum Beach website:https://qualicumbeach.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=5945. A printed copy of the report is also available for review at Town Hall.
 
Phase 2 of the Waterfront Master Plan will develop strategies for a sustainable waterfront that is resilient to climate change impacts. The second phase will emphasize public consultation in planning for a shoreline that sustains the ecological integrity of the foreshore, maintains the beach, protects infrastructure, and prepares the community for climate change and rising sea levels.
 
Please join us on December 1, 2015. Regards,
 
Luke
