near the intersection of Deloume Road and Lodgepole Road, Mill Bay

Council approved the installation of one new streetlight near the intersection of Deloume Road and Lodgepole Road in Mill Bay, alongside a $1,500 budget amendment to the 2026 Critical Street Lighting service, funded from Electoral Area A's operating reserve. The motion carried without recorded dissent and imposes no conditions beyond the budget allocation. The streetlight is a small but targeted infrastructure addition, triggered by the CVRD Transit Division and situated at a junction that sits at the edge of growing commercial and land-development interest. Multiple listings, including a 1.1-acre development-ready parcel actively marketed by CBRE Victoria (cbrevictoria.com), emphasize the controlled intersection at Highway 1 and Deloume Road as a high-visibility access point for Mill Bay Shopping Centre and regional commuting routes. The lighting improvement, while minor in dollar terms, supports pedestrian and vehicle safety at a node where development pressure and traffic volume are increasing.

The Cowichan Valley Regional District is proposing a rezoning for a transit layby lot near the intersection of Deloume Road and Lodgepole Road in Mill Bay. The CVRD Transit Division submitted the application. Council approved the rezoning on May 6, 2026, with the motion carried.
