PRRD starts public engagement on new Regional Zoning Bylaw project
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) has launched a public survey on accessory buildings, home-based business, secondary suite and detached suite regulations. This is the first step in developing a new Regional Zoning Bylaw. The survey invites public feedback to help shape the development of the new bylaw and guide future engagements.
“We’re creating a unified Regional Zoning Bylaw that reflects the needs and priorities of our communities and simplifies regulations,” said Board Chair Leonard Hiebert. “Public input is crucial to shape a new bylaw that will work for everyone in our region.”
Engagement Opportunities
The online survey is open from March 20 to May 30, 2025 at 4:30pm (PST). Registration is not required to participate and responses are anonymous. Hard copies of the survey are available at both PRRD offices in Dawson Creek (1981 Alaska Avenue) and Fort St. John (9505 100 Street). In addition to the survey, in-person engagement is scheduled for the fall of 2025.

PRRD launches survey to gather feedback on draft Regional Climate Resiliency Plan
Residents, businesses and communities in the Peace River region are experiencing significant impacts from natural hazard events. These include wildfires, flooding, extreme heat, drought and storms. Climate change is making these events more frequent and intense. This leads to damage to property, infrastructure, crops and forced evacuations.
In response, the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is developing a Regional Climate Resiliency Plan (RCRP). The plan will assess risks from climate-related hazards and help the region prepare for future events. It outlines strategies to improve resilience and identifies resources needed for implementation.
The draft RCRP was presented to the Regional Board on March 6, 2025, and is now in the final stage of public engagement before the final plan is shared with the Regional Board. This is the last opportunity for the public to review the draft plan and ensure that it meets the needs of the community.
