The Board of the Regional District of Nanaimo is seeking appointments to the newly created 707 Acre Community Park Management Plan Sub-Committee (707CPMPSC) for the duration of the management plan process (approx. one year).
The 707CPMP Sub-Committee will be comprised of the RDN Area B Director, two representatives from the Local Trust Council, and two members-at-large who are residents of Electoral Area B, (Gabriola DeCourcy, Mudge Islands), appointed by the RDN Board of Directors.
The primary role of this Committee is to: review the project plan; confirm vision statement and goals; review research and public consultation; review issues, trends, and public sentiment resulting from the open houses; review and discuss management policies; review draft plan before it goes for public review; review issues and feedback from public input of the draft plan; review changes to the draft plan; and confirm the terms of the conservation covenant.
This will be the Community Park's first management plan. It will guide the operations, development, and stewardship of the property based on comprehensive analysis of property values and public and stakeholder consultation. The Plan will confirm the long-term vision and goals for 707 Acre Community Park and identify shorter term management polices and actions for the period 2010-2020.
