Heather Lands Develop Receives Re-Zoning Approval
The rezoning application for the 21-acre Heather Lands project has been unanimously approved by Vancouver City Council. Approval was received following a public hearing on May 24, 2022, and will guide the development of a new, mixed-use urban neighbourhood.
There will be extensive green space within the Heather Lands, including an interpretive forest trail, public parks, public open space, and private residential gardens.
The development site is being shaped by a joint venture effort between the Canada Lands Company (“CLC”) and a partnership of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (MST), and is located within the Nations’ traditional territory.
DIALOG was selected by the ownership group in 2019 to prepare a rezoning application for the site in a way that respects and reflects MST culture and values, while also seeking to resolve important housing affordability needs within the Vancouver region.
DIALOG has been an integral partner in helping the development group achieve broad community engagement and buy-in for the project’s plans.
At the 5-hour public hearing, one Vancouver City Council member shared, “This is the first project that is taking Indigenous values, and ways of being, and putting it into action. It is setting an incredibly wonderful precedent for how these kinds of projects can unfold in Vancouver.”
