Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I add a suite to my home?

Royal Bay has been designed as a new neighbourhood of Colwood with shared amenities and services, not as a separate "new town". The first phase of the development will seem much like nearby areas of Colwood - family oriented with a mix of detached homes and townhouses. Secondary suites will also be permitted in many homes.

Can I operate a business from my home?

Some zones do allow a home business, provided that it does not vary or alter the residential appearance of the property and is subject to other regulations. A business licence is required.

What does the future hold for Royal Bay?

As Royal Bay develops, there will be a broader mix of housing types-more townhouses, low-rise apartments and a mix of stores and apartments within buildings, especially in the Village Centre. By the time Royal Bay is fully developed, it will have a more urban form and personality. It will be home to people from all walks of life.

What are some of the municipal services?

Police: RCMP

Fire: both full-time and volunteer members

Emergency: 911 telephone service

Transit: BC Transit

Garbage: private with recycling depots and blue boxes

Water: municipal water
