What is happening at 300 Robron Road?

BC Housing is starting to look at ways to replace the townhomes at 300 Robron Road, Campbell River.

The townhomes at 300 Robron Road are old and need repairs. BC Housing is launching a feasibility study to determine how best to replace the townhomes. BC Housing is also looking at options for adding community spaces that will enhance the neighbourhood.

What is the project timeline?

This project is in the very early stages. Typically, the predevelopment study and planning timeline for a project like this takes 3 to 4 years. This first phase will include:

  • Reaching out to tenants and the community to share information and answer questions
  • Encouraging tenants to share their ideas to ensure any new development will meets their needs and the needs of future tenants.
  • Working with a team of architects and engineers to determine what is possible.

If BC Housing moves forward, construction would not start for 4 to 5 years.

What will happen to my home?

If BC Housing decides to move forward with new construction, there will be no changes made to your home for several years.

BC Housing will work closely with M’akola Housing Society to ensure that all tenants at 300 Robron Road have an affordable, appropriately sized home during construction. BC Housing will also cover reasonable moving costs. Once built, current tenants will be offered a new, affordable rental home first.

How does this redevelopment relate to ongoing renovations?

The renovations that started in May 2023 will continue as planned. The renovations will ensure that homes can be occupied in the short-term, while a longer-term plan is confirmed through the redevelopment process.

Our Commitments to Tenants

BC Housing is committed to protecting tenants from the impacts of redevelopment in the following ways:

  • As much as possible, tenants will be able to stay in their current home until their new home is completed.
  • BC Housing will work with each tenant to make sure they have access to secure housing and their needs are met throughout planning and redevelopment.
  • Tenants will get to choose whether they want to move into a new home before anyone else.
  • BC Housing will pay for reasonable moving costs. This can include hiring movers and reconnecting utilities like telephone and cable.
  • When tenants move into their new home, they will continue to pay the same rent unless income or family size has changed.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to M’akola Housing Society or BC Housing if you have any questions about this commitment.
