District of Oak Bay has made some changes to our application processes.  We have modified the process to provide for digital applications and review so we can continue to provide services to the community.

For development applications, this includes all form of land use applications, including for example, zoning, development permits, development variance permits, Uplands Siting and Design, and subdivision.  All scheduled advisory committee meetings meet once per month. There are no meetings in August or December. 

Office Hours for Planning staff are:

  • 1:00 to 2:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for statutory holidays)
  • Alternatively, you can email your inquiries to planning@oakbay.ca

For additional information specific to your area of interest, please view the Zoning and Land Use Applications web page for additional information on the land use application process, the development application form, the development application checklist, the demolition waste brochure and the subdivision application form.  You can also visit the Subdivision web page for additional information on subdivision items.
