website for huge South Nanaimo Lands project, around a km north of us--


"Northwest Properties and Snuneymuxw First Nation have jointly purchased approximately 726 acres of vacant freehold land located in the south of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. The land straddles the Island Highway and Duke Point Highway.

The overall project contemplates the development of the land into a complete and integrated master-planned community consisting of residential, retail, recreational, commercial, educational and industrial uses. The development is expected to be phased over a 10 to 15 year period relative to market demand.

This project is in the initial planning stages, and the partnership will be actively engaged in community consultation through the City of Nanaimo's Official Community Plan amendment process."
