“Our focus from the start has been on helping people across B.C. find housing that fits their needs and budgets. That can look very different in different communities,” said Christine Boyle, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs. “With the Local Government Development Approvals Program, local governments can improve their internal processes and development approvals, so that we can speed up the delivery of homes for people living and working in B.C.”

Cori Ramsay, president, UBCM, said: “Getting the homes British Columbians need approved, built and available requires all orders of government and industry to work together to improve development approvals processes. Across B.C., local governments are investing in practical solutions to streamline approvals, including digitizing permitting systems, adopting standardized housing designs, and modernizing processes. UBCM is pleased to partner with the Province to deliver the Local Government Develop Approvals Program, helping communities strengthen their capacity to support the timely delivery of much-needed housing.”
