Back to SearchSolid Waste Management Plan to be completed by end of 2023
Tera Grady, Solid Waste Manager, updated the Board on the Regional District’s efforts to update its solid waste management plan. In early fall, the completed plan will be distributed to Cariboo municipalities for review and feedback. Feedback on the plan will be reviewed by the Solid Waste Management Committee and recommendations made to the Board on next steps, with an aim to secure provincial approval by December 2023.
More information about the work completed so far and the results of the most recent public engagement can be found on the CRD’s website at www.cariboord.ca/swmp.
South Cariboo Regional Airport operating contract renewed for five years
The Cariboo Regional District has renewed its contract with Donahue Airfield Services for the operation of the South Cariboo Regional Airport. The agreement will be for a period of five years and will have a value of $130,000 per year with a $4,000 increase in each subsequent year of the contract. No direct taxation impacts are expected as a result of the contract renewal.
Solar panel funding approved for Miocene Community Hall
The Board will be allocating $27,500 in Community Works Funding to the Miocene Community Club to finance the installation of 24 solar panels at the Miocene Community Hall. Once installed, the solar panels are expected to save about 12,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, reducing the carbon footprint of the building and saving money for other club improvements.
Interlakes subdivision proposal approved in official community plan, zoning bylaws
A proposed 39-lot rural subdivision in the Bridge Lake area has moved one step forward after receiving approval at the official community plan stage and zoning appropriate for the proposed new uses. The subdivision of the 200 hectare lot will allow for expanded rural residential uses on the property, with a portion of the subdivided property remaining as a resource-based use. Covenants have been further registered on title to ensure compliance with the regional district’s Shoreland Management Policy, which seeks to reduce the impacts of privately owned sewer systems on sensitive riparian ecosystems.
Final subdivision approval is subject to approval through the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure being satisfied of requirements being met, and does not present any costs to the regional district.
