The Sunshine Coast Regional District is moving several projects forward after completing its first round of budget discussions.
Plans include several water infrastructure projects, such as reservoir maintenance and replacement of the pump station at the Selma reservoir. The district is also planning further exploratory work to assess the feasibility of additional water supply at the shíshálh Hospital well.
Upgrades are planned for the Pender Harbour Transfer Station, including installation of a new scale, and work will continue on the Solid Waste Management Plan.
The Pender Pool will receive new tile, while a major refurbishment of the large red slide at the Sechelt Pool is also set to proceed.
Two new grant-funded projects will provide emergency equipment and training, and the financial plan includes continuing the paid on-call system for Sunshine Coast Regional District volunteer firefighters.
Local Sunshine Coast governments will take part in a financial planning roundtable on Jan. 29. Each local government will present an overview of its plans, followed by discussion. The meeting is open to the public.
The roundtable begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Sunshine Coast Regional District boardroom in Sechelt.
