The Electoral Area Services Committee deferred Building Regulation Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1968 unanimously on May 7, 2026, directing it to be brought back alongside Proposed Building Bylaw No. 1967. The bylaw is intended to adjust building permit fees and taxation to address structural funding deficits in Building Inspection Services. No return date was specified, leaving the timeline for any fee changes open-ended. Until the two bylaws are considered together, current building permit fees remain unchanged.

A rezoning application for an undisclosed address in the Regional District of Nanaimo, BC, from an applicant was deferred by the Council on May 7, 2026. The decision was carried unanimously. No further details on the proposed rezoning are available.
