The Town has purchased the Eaglecrest Golf Course lands, giving the Town of Qualicum Beach an opportunity to guide land use and preserve natural areas.
The purchase price of $8.5 million was funded in part by a $2.125 million contribution from the Christopher Foundation, ensuring that approximately 40 percent of the property (about 40 acres) will be preserved as forested parkland with walking trails and habitat restoration. The remaining lands will be home to a nine-hole golf course and carefully planned housing developments to help meet community need.
The Town is committed to creating a plan that will meet community needs, environmental sustainability and housing goals. This acquisition allows a once-in-a-generation opportunity to guide the future of a major land parcel in a way that benefits residents today and for years to come.
