Council is being asked to give first, second, and third reading to Amenity Cost Charge Bylaw 2026, No. 7440, which would impose mandatory ACC rates on new development and replace the existing Community Amenity Contribution Policy. Final reading and adoption would follow, with an implementation date of January 2029, giving projects already in stream two years to secure building permits under the current CAC framework. The consolidated readings signal broad council support. Detailed ACC rates and calculation methodology have not yet been published.

The Council of the City of Nanaimo is considering a development application for an undisclosed property address. The applicant is seeking council approval, and the matter is scheduled for the April 20, 2026, council meeting. No final decision is available at this time.
