CloseAAP – Langdale Wellfield Construction Project Borrowing
The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is moving forward with plans to increase the region’s water supply through the Langdale Wellfield Construction Project. The project, located near the BC Ferries Langdale terminal, is a key initiative in SCRD’s 2023–2027 Strategic Plan to secure reliable and diverse water sources.
To fund the project, the SCRD proposes borrowing up to $13.18 million over a 20-year term. This borrowing would result in an estimated annual cost of $97.28 for affected property owners, applied through the Regional Water Service parcel tax.
The borrowing bylaw has received three readings and has been reviewed and approved by the Inspector of Municipalities.
So, what is an AAP? Quite simply, if the SCRD wants to take out a long-term loan, the approval of the electors is required. The AAP is a process where you only submit a response form if you are opposed to the proposal – in this case, opposed to the borrowing.
The elector response form and information about the AAP is available at www.scrd.ca/aap as well as at the SCRD office at 1975 Field Road, Wilson Creek, during regular office hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Elector response forms must be received at the SCRD Field Road office before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 24, 2025.
Due to the ongoing Canada Post labour disruption, mail-in submission of Elector Response Forms will not be accepted for this process. Electors may submit completed response forms by the following methods:
- by email to legislative@scrd.ca Forms must be received before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 24, 2025;
- in person at the SCRD Administration Office, 1975 Field Road, Sechelt, BC V7Z 0A8, during regular business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays); or,
- by deposit in the mail-drop slot located on the east side of the SCRD Field Road Administration Office 24 hours per day/7 days a week.
If you require assistance submitting your Elector Response Form and are unable to use email or in-person delivery, please contact Sherry Reid at legislative@scrd.ca as early as possible in the submission period to discuss alternative arrangements.
SCRD staff will also be available in-person at the Field Road office Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, excluding statutory holidays, to answer questions related to the AAP.
