Noise Control Bylaw Review (2021-2022)
In 2021, the Regional District commenced a reiew of the Electoral Area Noise Regulation and Prohibition Bylaws with an objective of consolidating these into a new single, new bylaw.
As part of this process, it directed that the Electoral Area "H" Noise Control Establishment Bylaw No. 2627, 2013, and Noise Regulation and Prohibition Bylaw No. 2628, 2013, be repealed and not replaced.
The new Noise Control Bylaw No. 2931, 2022, was adopted by the Regional District Board at its meeting of October 6, 2022:
