The Vancouver Airport Authority is preparing for future development of the Northlands properties located at the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, B.C. The project will involve relocating approximately 2.5km of the primary security fence on the north side of the airfield. In addition to relocating security fence the project will include construction of a new 2.5 km gravel access road within the airfield parallel to the new fence alignment, excavation of a new drainage ditch and removing an existing building. The project may include additional modifications to underground utilities and drainage in the project area. The project will convert approximately 270,000 square meters of the airfield land to groundside land. This work is in response to a recent update to the Vancouver International Airport Land Use Plan which converted some of the north airfield land from Airfield Use to Airside/Groundside Commercial Use.
