8850 Douglas Street

The District of Port Hardy is finalizing a lease of municipally-owned land at 8850 Douglas Street to the Hardy Gardeners for a community garden. Council is receiving a report from an in-camera meeting detailing the terms; approval would formalize the arrangement. The parcel is public land and the lease allocates it to non-development use. No rezoning, development permit, or OCP amendment is associated with this address. The lease indicates the District intends to maintain the site as open space for the term of the agreement, removing it from the near-term development pipeline. For anyone tracking Port Hardy land supply, the parcel remains in public ownership with no active development interest. The item is a routine administrative disposition. The in-camera report suggests the terms have been negotiated and are now presented for ratification; lease duration and any renewal clauses will determine how long the site remains unavailable for other uses.

Hardy Gardeners is seeking council approval for a development at 8850 Douglas Street in Port Hardy. The application will be considered by council at the May 12, 2026 meeting.
