What does the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw state about LNG operations on the Bamberton lands?
For an LNG facility to legally operate on the Bamberton site, it would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan, Zoning Bylaw amendment, and possibly a development permit application. Such applications would be adjudicated by the Board as with all such applications and will follow due process. Although the issue of LNG is significant for this community, the structure of the development application process does not change.
