District Projects - Current
| Project | Project Description |
|---|---|
| Civic redevelopment | Since 2006, the District of Central Saanich has been exploring the feasibility of redeveloping civic buildings. The building that contains Municipal Hall, Fire Station 2, and the Police Station (located at 1903 Mt Newton Cross Road) and the facilities at Municipal Yard (located at 1703 Keating Cross Road) require replacement in the near future to address seismic and accessibility deficiencies and meet post-disaster standards. The sites are large and do not meet the best use of land for the community. |
| Brentwood Bay sewer system | Start date: March 2024 The Brentwood Bay sewer system has reached the end of its life cycle; it handles approximately half of the municipality’s wastewater, including flows from the W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) First Nation. For more information and project updates see www.centralsaanich.ca/BrentwoodSewer |
| Wallace Drive Water Main Replacement | Start date: March 2025 We have been upgrading the water main in sections as part of our Water and Sewer Master Plan. This project will replace the aging water main beneath Wallace Drive between Blossom Park and Lisnoe Avenue, as well as make aboveground road safety improvements. |
| Wallace Drive cycling infrastructure | (from Brentwood Bay/West Saanich to Saanichton/East Saanich) – A combination of infrastructure types to create a network from Brentwood Bay to Saanichton. |
| Mount Newton Pathway | Phase 1: Bike lanes will be separated from traffic and link to an upgraded intersection at Mount Newton Cross Road and Lochside Drive that will be a four-way stop with bike crossing. Construction in 2024. Phase 2: Conceptual designs are underway for a separated multi-use trail. Public consultation will take place before construction begins in 2025. |
| Central Saanich pathway | (from Mt Newton going south) With designs in the works, the public will be invited to view and comment on the project before construction begins. |
