Sechelt Airport Terminal and Parking Expansion Organizational Information: Full Legal name of applicant organization: District of Sechelt Mailing address: 2 nd Floor – 5797 Cowrie Street Sechelt, BC V0N 3A0 Telephone: (604) 885-1986 Business Number: N/A Organizational Type: Local government Project Information: Project Title: Sechelt Airport Terminal and Parking Expansion Project Project address: (where the project will be undertaken) Hilltop Road, Sechelt, BC V0N 3A1 Proposed shared cost commencement date: May 1, 2012 Proposed project end date: December 31, 2013 Community infrastructure facility type: Airport Description of the Project: (under 2000 characters) The subject of this project application is the refurbishment and enhancement of the current air terminal building and works associated with up-grades to the parking area. The project is the first step in our master plan that will transform the airport from its current status as a “registered” airport to a “certified” airport capable of supporting regularly scheduled air services. Currently the airport is served by a small air terminal building and gravel and grass parking areas. The terminal building is suitable for general aviation and smaller charter use but is not capable of handling the needs of District of Sechelt Regular Council Meeting Agenda August 1, 2012 Page 32
larger charter or scheduled air services. The limitations of the building have also constrained its use for other community functions such as by the air cadets as a training facility, volunteer group community meetings, etc. The parking area and the terminal building are at different elevations and access to the terminal building involves climbing a gravel path that has a significant slope and does not meet modern accessibility standards. The objective of this project is to refurbish and add capacity to the current terminal building to allow for processing of inbound and out-bound passengers (including medevac transfer) and to modify the parking area to make it easily accessible to the terminal building, thus improving accessibility for those with mobility impairments. Activities to be undertaken/work/tasks to be done, assets to be renovated or constructed and any other relevant information. Expanding and upgrading the airport terminal building and parking areas will include the following activities/tasks: Engaging a Project Coordinator to develop the project plan and manage the grant application process Hiring an architect and engineer to complete the design of the building expansion and the design of the parking area Contracting for construction services to construct the building expansion and parking area Overseeing the works in progress Rationale for the Project: (Maximum of 4000 characters) The Sechelt Airport is currently not certified by Transport Canada. The runway, apron and taxiways of the airport are approaching the end of their service life. An Engineering plan has been completed to replace the existing runway and extend it to 4,000 feet from its current 2,400 foot length. Along with a package of additional up-grades (including lighting for night operations) the airport will meet the requirements for certification -- enabling scheduled air services to operate at the airport. The Sunshine Coast is not accessible by road and currently the only means of travel to the lower mainland is by car/ferry or float plane. Scheduled air services would serve the 28,000 permanent residents, 15,000 part time residents and the more than 150,000 annual visitors to the Coast.
