The Proposed Project

Project Type: Commercial Development

Proponents: Sherringham Holdings LTD

Authority: Victoria Airport Authority (VAA)

Location: 9771 Stirling Way Victoria International Airport (YYJ) – Sidney BC

Schedule: January 2027 through December 2028

 

This project involves the construction of a commercial development which includes four stand alone buildings that will be occupied and operated by a variety of commercial tenants.   The project is contained to leased lands and are not expected to affect airport operations.  Adjacent public roads may be affected when moving construction materials to the site but will be managed by road traffic flaggers.

The project is located groundside on the eastern region of the airport and is zoned groundside mixed use. Types of activities include survey, civil work, welding, piping, mechanical, electrical, crane work, and general materials handling and building construction.

Site preparation activities will include preparation of an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) for the project with Environmental Monitors acting on behalf of the Proponent.  Erosion and sediment control measures to protect nearby surface water environments will be included in the EPP.  Indigenous Cultural Monitors will be notified of all ground disturbance activities and will be invited to observe subsurface material excavations during construction.
