The Story

The B.C. Real Estate Association is urging the incoming provincial government to consult industry experts before changing housing legislation, after premier-designate Lorne Doerkson signalled he would scrap municipal housing targets and legislation that would allow multiplexes to be built without rezoning.

The association’s request is focused on how any changes could be carried out, given Doerkson’s stated intention to remove the existing framework for municipal housing targets and the rules tied to rezoning requirements for multiplex development.
