Bill 88 — Housing Delivery and Infrastructure Guarantee Act | Cascadia
Mandatory timelines, escalation, and public accountability for housing approvals in BC.
Key provisions
- Fixed statutory decision timelines: rezoning applications decided within 90 days, permits within 30 days
- Escalation pathway: applications exceeding timelines automatically escalate to provincial housing officer
- Pre-approved design library: standardized housing designs fast-tracked without full site plan review
- Infrastructure funding tied to housing completion targets: municipalities receive provincial grants on delivery
- Municipal land-use planning jurisdiction fully preserved — this does not override zoning authority
- Indigenous consultation obligations unaffected by any expedited approval timelines
