The Town of Qualicum Beach owns a portion of land called the ‘Bus Garage’ in the heart of Qualicum Beach, which, through extensive public consultation, is to be transformed into a public space.

The final Conceptual Design and Mobility Study was endorsed by the Council in July 2024, with a recommendation that staff prepare a report outlining the next steps in the implementation of the Bus Garage Conceptual Design for consideration during the 2025-2029 Budget process.
