Sooke Mayor Maja Tait: “There’s no intention of expropriating land to put in a boardwalk. I don’t know where that came from.”
Waterfront property owners packed Sooke council chambers on Monday afternoon to voice opposition to a proposal to restrict new development in a 15-metre zone above the high-tide mark.
Tait said any waterfront trail is at this point only an idea and would likely be at least 50 years away. The OCP is also encouraging the use of softer shoreline protection methods such as planting beach vegetation instead of building retaining walls and seawalls. Similarly, property owners would not be restricted from maintaining or repairing any existing permanent infrastructure, including seawalls and docks.
