Design Advisory Panel

The Design Advisory Panel (DAP) is an advisory committee to Council made up of design professionals and members of the general public. DAP reviews form and character development permits in relation to relevant design guidelines, good design principles, and conformance with the Official Community Plan and related documents. DAP also provides independent, objective recommendations to the applicant, City staff, and Council aimed at improving matters of design that affect the public realm.

DAP meets every second and fourth Thursday of the month at 5:00 pm in the Service & Resource Centre Boardroom at 411 Dunsmuir Street, Nanaimo.
