Permit Applications
Application for Works on City Lands Infrastructure

This also applies for Water System Shutdown and Fire Hydrant use requests.
You will be required to submit a copy of your business insurance that names the City of Campbell River as additional insured and has a minimum liability coverage of $3,000,000. The expiry date should be clearly indicated.- If you need to do any work within the curb lines, you will need a Road Closure Permit. This applies even if traffic can still flow through the work zone.
- Depending on the extent of the closure, you may be required to undertake public notification.
- You will be required to provide a Traffic and/or Pedestrian Management Plan.
- You are required to provide a copy of your Worksafe Clearance Letter.
