In fall 2017 the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) approved the Agricultural Reclamation and Drainage Plan for the Sandown site in the District of North Saanich.
As described on the District on North Saanich website:
"Subdivision approval was granted creating the 3 parcels, which make up the 12-acre commercial site and the 83-acre agricultural parcel. The transfer of the 83 acres to District ownership, the inclusion of the District’s own 12.05-acre adjacent parcel to the west, and the exclusion of the 12-acre commercial portion is now complete.
The Saanich Planning Department contacted the Community Mapping Initiative to facilitate community outreach and engagement for the Shelbourne Corridor Action Plan. The intent of the Plan is to develop, in consultation with the community and other stakeholders, a comprehensive, long range (20 to 30 year) vision for an area 500 m on either side of Shelbourne St. from North Dairy Road in the south to Feltham Road in the north.
The Community Mapping Collaboratory is working with the Capital Regional District and the City of Victoria to produce an interactive participatory green map which was launched in 2014.
