West Bay is growing alongside Esquimalt’s other neighbourhoods, while maintaining a sense of community and preserving its unique heritage.
The WBRA works to stay informed about developments proposed for our neighbourhood, and plays a consultative role in new developments.
When engaging with developers and municipal staff, we are guided by the standards and guidelines defined in the Township of Esquimalt’s Official Community Plan, and the West Bay Neighbourhood Design Guidelines.
For a full list of projects and proposals in Esquimalt, see the Township of Esquimalt’s Development Tracker.
