Departments > Planning & Development > Development Services Division > Current Green Initiatives > Green Building Policy for Private Development Building upon the development of a Civic Green Building Policy, the City is exploring mechanisms to encourage and mandate sustainable building practices in private developments. To this end, the City commissioned Stantec Consulting to conduct a green building policy review entitled City of Victoria Sustainable Building Policy Review - Private Sector Development - [PDF 1.8MB]. This report provides an overview of current green building best practices, gives an overview of the current green building context in the region, and suggests key indicators that can form the basis for a comprehensive Green Building Policy. In 2007 staff presented the Sustainable Building Policy Review in a report - [PDF 59KB] to Committee of the Whole. Council received the report for information and directed staff to consult the with the Advisory Design Panel, the Environment and Shoreline Advisory Committee, the development industry, and the Heritage Advisory Committee. Council also directed staff to develop recommendations and an implementation strategy for private development of green buildings. Council provided staff with further direction for Green Building initiatives for Private Sector Development in February of 2011. A link to this report is provided below. Resources:
