The list below, alphabetized by street name, is created and regularly maintained by QCHCA’s Development and Land Use Action Group. Additional useful information, including site plans and elevations, on those development applications that have already been submitted to Saanich Planning are available on Saanich’s website. Because Local Areas do not match exactly with the various Community Association boundaries and because some developments that lie outside QCHCA boundaries may be of interest to our community, you may want to check out Active Developments in Quadra, Saanich Core, North Quadra and Shelbourne areas.
