Abstract:
British Columbia is adopting a “one-stop-shop” approach to housing-related permits to help speed up the approval process to build more homes, officials announced Monday.
The new Permitting Strategy for Housing means B.C. will have a cross-ministry team dedicated to prioritizing housing permits, which are currently handled by multiple ministries with different processes.
“As we turn things around and start to build record levels of housing, we are taking action today to remove obstacles to constructing new homes that families desperately need,” Premier David Eby at a press conference Monday.
Indigenous-led projects, BC Housing applications and multiple-unit developments will be given priority, according to the province.
