Nanaimo City Council is being asked to direct staff to amend the Parks, Recreation and Culture Regulation Bylaw to add Nob Hill Park and Deverill Square Park as locations where temporary shelter and overnight accommodation are prohibited. The item is a council direction, not a development permit application, despite the agenda classification. If the direction is approved, staff will prepare an amending bylaw for subsequent reading and adoption. The June 1 meeting initiates the process; adoption timing depends on the legislative calendar. No further project-scale details are applicable to this governance action.

A development permit application for an undisclosed address in Nanaimo, BC will be considered by the municipal planning department on June 1, 2026. The applicant is listed as an applicant. A decision is pending.
