Saanich Operations Centre Redevelopment Project

What we are doing

The Saanich Operations Centre – located at 1040 McKenzie Avenue – has served our community for more than 60 years. It is the hub of the vast infrastructure network serving the District of Saanich. 

While we continue to deliver services from this bustling hub, we are looking to redevelop the site and replace the old facilities with new ones so our operations will function well into the future allowing us to continue to provide services that support our high quality of life in Saanich.

More information about the project is available at saanich.ca/SOCplan.

Project timeline

June 2022: Council approved the Business Case, directing staff to develop the operations centre plans and to work with the private sector development community to understand the opportunities to involve external investment and other uses on the site. The District intends to engage a private sector partner to assist with the redevelopment and plan for commercial and perhaps residential opportunities that are in alignment with the District’s newly-adopted OCP and current Council lead initiatives and priorities. Read the Report.

February 2024: We acquired a property near the operations centre site that will become the new Parks Operations Centre. This will allow us to continue to make progress on the redevelopment project, reduce overall project costs and plan for smooth operations into the future. Read more about this update.

October 2024: Staff provided a project update to Council on October 7. Read the Report and the Development and Transaction Options Analysis.

Summer - Fall 2025: AAP was unsuccessful and staff then presented options to Council for next steps for the Project.

November 2025: Council approved a phased approach for the redevelopment.
