Hopkins Landing Dock Renovation Beginning

Repairs to the Hopkins Landing Dock are set to begin next week, restoring this much-loved community landmark.  

Closed since June 2023 due to safety concerns, the dock is now moving forward with necessary upgrades. Extensive community engagement was conducted in 2024 to ensure the design aligns with input received from the community.  

At an open house and through the SCRD’s Let’s Talk project page, community members expressed a strong desire to preserve the dock’s original appearance. In response, the renovation will follow a “like-for-like” design (pictured below), maintaining the dock’s familiar look, however the float will not be a part of this stage of the construction project.  

When the Hopkins Landing Dock was closed, the float was removed and placed into storage. Repairs were identified as part of the renovation project. In April, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the float was in significant disrepair and could not be reused. This replacement will require a separate design and construction contract and will not be completed alongside the main dock upgrades.

Materials will begin arriving on-site next week. No road closures are expected, though some areas around the dock will be fenced off for public safety. SCRD staff will also be speaking directly with nearby homeowners who could be affected by the work next week.  

The work is anticipated to be completed by the end of January.
