The Airport Consultation Plan considered challenges and opportunities for the municipally owned and operated Qualicum Beach Airport.
This Council initiative set out to better understand how the Airport is used, how it is viewed by the local and regional community and to identify Council decision-making opportunities beyond the regulations of Transport Canada and the guidance of NAV CANADA.
The Town retained Operations Economics Inc. – a team with extensive experience in master planning for small, medium, and large airports across Canada and overseas – to assist with the Airport Consultation Plan.
As a result of the engagement, an annual Committee of the Whole meeting was held for the public to provide input to Council on Airport-related matters.
Council has scheduled an Airport Master Plan to be considered within the 2024-2028 Financial Plan for reconsideration in the 2025 Strategic Planning process.
