Round 2 Options and Costs

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) has developed six options and associated cost estimates based on feedback from the previous round of community engagement in May 2025.

These options reflect a range of approaches, from basic outdoor gathering spaces to a small, serviced hall.

Projects with construction costs exceeding $500,000 would require borrowing, as a grant has been received towards the project from the Regional District of that amount. Repayment of any borrowing would be included in the annual operating costs. Operating costs also include items such as utilities, insurance, maintenance, and contributions toward future repairs or replacement.

Residents are invited to review the options and provide feedback on their preferred options through the online survey by April 1, 2026 (4:30 PM). Your input will help inform the inform next steps, including whether the project proceeds to a referendum (public vote) in October 2026.

About the Concepts

The concepts illustrate:

  • General structure types (e.g., pavilion, hall, shelter)

  • Included amenities

  • Estimated construction and operating costs

They do not include:

  • Final design details

  • Detailed layouts or materials

Detailed design would be completed only if the project proceeds following community support.

How to Estimate Your Annual Tax

  1. Visit bcassessment.ca

  2. Search for your property using the “Find your property assessment” tool

  3. Locate the “Improvements Only” value (building value, not land)

  4. Divide that value by 1,000

  5. Multiply by the tax rate for your preferred option

Example:
$150,000 ÷ 1,000 = 150
150 × 0.48 = $72 per year

Note: Estimates are based on 2025 assessment values. Actual costs may vary.


Option 1, Estimated Tax Rate $0.48/$1000: Picnic Shelter and Recreation Amenities

Option 2, Estimated Tax Rate $0.61/$1000: Outdoor Pavilion

Option 3, Estimated Tax Rate $0.67/$1000: Outdoor Pavilion and Recreation Amenities

Option 4, Estimated Tax Rate $1.02/$1000: Small, Basic, Serviced Hall

Option 5, Estimated Tax Rate $1.14/$1000: Small, basic, serviced hall and recreation amenities

Option 6, $0/N/A: No Further Development
