Tree Protection Pilot Program
The City is launching an engagement program to gather feedback from property owners within the Sunshine Hills area regarding a potential neighbourhood-specific tree protection pilot program. Staff have reviewed available municipal tools and are now seeking feedback from property owners that will:
gauge interest in a neighbourhood-specific pilot;
understand awareness of existing tree protection rules;
gather input on potential options to strengthen tree protection, and;
identify key issues and opportunities to consider as the pilot is developed.
As this potential pilot program explores changes to bylaws and other measures that apply to private property, feedback is being collected from property owners from neighbourhoods in the Sunshine Hills area who could be directly impacted.
Sunshine Hills Area Neighbourhoods
Tree characteristics across the Sunshine Hills area are similar. For this reason, all property owners in the neighbourhoods identified below have been invited to complete the online survey. This map reflects the City’s current understanding of the Sunshine Hills area and was developed as part of the North Delta Area Plan Review in 2011.
Online Survey
Property owners in the Sunshine Hills area were mailed a postcard with a unique, address-specific survey code to access the online survey. The survey is anonymous and closes February 15. Each code can only be used once. Once the survey is opened, respondents can save their progress and return later to complete it using their unique code.
