What’s Happening Tonight?

The purpose of this information session is to share details on the rezoning application that BC Ferries has submitted to the Sunshine Coast Regional District regarding the Langdale Ferry terminal. This is a drop-in open house with information on the rezoning application displayed on interactive panels.

Project Background

In 2013, BC Ferries created a Terminal Development Plan (TDP) to help improve the safety, efficiency and customer experience at the Langdale Terminal. This 25-year plan identified both short term and long-term improvements to the terminal.

In April 2017, BC Ferries submitted a rezoning application to the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD). The purpose of this rezoning application is to bring the zoning into alignment with current and proposed uses and align it with the SCRD’s Official Community Plan. More information about this application will be presented on the following panels.

Now, BC Ferries is undertaking a series of engagement activities to get customer, employee, community and stakeholder input before progressing with design work and bringing the TDP to life.

Purpose of the Public Information Session

• Ask questions about the rezoning application and the Langdale terminal development to BC Ferries staff

• Share your feedback on the rezoning application

• Learn how the SCRD will review this application

• Share your feedback on the key issues, key opportunities and what you would like to see improved at the Langdale Ferry Terminal






Setting the Scene

The Goals of the BC Ferries Strategic Plan

Our strategic goals focus on the broad outcomes we hope to achieve and our vision of a continuously improving West Coast travel experience that consistently exceeds customer expectations and reflects the innovation and pride of our employees.

What is a Terminal Development Plan?

A Terminal Development Plan (TDP) is a document that will set out a long term vision of how a terminal should develop over time. TDPs will provide the framework for the phased implementation of strategies, actions and projects over the next 25 years.

The TDP helps BC Ferries achieve its strategic goals and respond to the terminal’s functional requirements and future growth in a sustainable, cost effective, organized, phased and efficient way.

The Langdale TDP

In 2013, BC Ferries created a Terminal Development Plan (TDP) for the Langdale Terminal to help improve the safety, efficiency and customer experience. As part of the TDP process, key stakeholders were engaged to help identify key issues and opportunities at the Langdale Terminal.

Flowing from the TDP, conceptual designs are being developed for the Langdale Terminal.

Langdale Terminal

The Langdale terminal was originally constructed in the mid 1950s. Between 1961 and 1975, the Langdale terminal underwent several expansions including new berths, property purchase and expansion of holding compounds and parking areas. In the 1980s, Berth 1 was double-decked, and other significant additions to the terminal were made such as the passenger waiting lounge, administration offices and public washrooms. Further expansions were undertaken in the 1990s.

The Official Community Plan

What is an Official Community Plan (OCP)?

An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a policy document that influences how people live, work, shop, play, and move around in the community. An OCP is one of the most powerful tools a municipality has to manage growth and change in a way that helps a community meet its goals.

What does the West Howe Sound OCP say about the Langdale Terminal?

As shown below, the OCP of the SCRD identifies the Langdale Terminal as a unique land use.

The objectives within the OCP include supporting the continued operation of the Langdale Terminal. The policy supports a Terminal Upgrade and allows for auxiliary commercial uses.

The SCRD Staff Report states that “The proposed uses of the rezoning application are consistent with the West Howe Sound OCP. They relate to the site’s current use and supports the OCP objective and policy for the Langdale terminal.”
