Earls Cove Terminal Development Plan

In January 2020, our Terminal Development team along with key staff from across BC Ferries began creating a Terminal Development Plan (TDP) for the Earls Cove terminal. The TDP is an important planning document that lays out a long-term vision for future terminal upgrades.

Developing a TDP is a highly collaborative process, and involves working with staff, stakeholders, communities and First Nations to:

Identify key issues and opportunities
Develop conceptual options for the terminal
Refine and identify a preferred concept(s) to guide future upgrades

Current status: The Terminal Development Plan has been refined and the preferred concept has been included in the plan. Please read below for further details.

We are proposing to amend the OCP Land Use and the Bylaw zoning of the Earls Cove ferry terminal to 'marine transportation' to reflect the fact that the land is being used as a ferry terminal today.
What questions or comments do you have on the OCP & Zoning bylaw changes we are proposing?
