The Bowen Island Properties team is pleased to announce that we have submitted an application to amend the Land Use Bylaw for a portion of Seymour Landing. In essence, the proposal seeks permission for additional residential development to directly respond to the ongoing and well-documented housing needs of our Island community, and to add some economic drivers by way of small-scale, neighbourhood commercial and hospitality uses.

This website will be updated as information becomes available. Below are links to the current information.
