Advisory Planning Commissions

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) is looking for volunteers interested in joining their local Advisory Planning Commission (APC). Expression of Interest forms must be submitted online.

APC members work together in making recommendations to the CSRD Board and Staff on planning and land use related matters (community planning, zoning bylaw amendments, Agricultural Land Reserve applications, Development Variance Permits etc.) within the Electoral Area. The APC typically meets once a month, or less, depending on the number of referrals they receive.

Training will be provided and all expenses incurred by members will be reimbursed.

Individuals who best demonstrate the following will be recommended for appointment:

• An interest and passion for balanced community development;
• A desire to share knowledge and experience in a range of subjects relevant to planning and development (e.g. housing, agriculture, construction, parks, environment, youth, seniors, business, geography, engineering, education, arts and culture etc.).

Please note that 2/3 of the members of an APC must be residents of the Electoral Area. Submit an application for the Advisory Planning Commission Expression of Interest.
