Keats Island Marine General (MG) Zone Amendment

The intent of this project is to amend the current Keats Island Land Use Bylaw No. 78 to permit the establishment and use of telecommunication utilities in the Marine General (MG) zone. The Gambier Island Local Trust Committee has initiated this bylaw amendment as a result of the Connected Coast Partnership project proposal to place subsea fibre optic cable in the marine area adjacent to Keats Island. The Connected Coast Partnership will bring high-speed internet access to rural and remote communities by connecting communities to a subsea fibre-optic network that will run from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii, down the Sunshine Coast, and around Vancouver Island.

This project has now entered Phase 3 which includes the establishment of a Shoreline Development Permit Area (DPA) for the purposes of protecting the natural environment, its ecosystems and biological diversity, and protecting development from hazardous conditions. Included in this phase are potential land use bylaw amendments to restrict the size and type of identified marine structures.  More in-depth information about the Keats Island Shoreline Protection project here.
