Duplexes and half duplexes in New Westminster

Local rules that affect duplexes in New Westminster

  • Zoning (New Westminster): New Westminster Zoning Bylaw 6680 (2001) governs; the OCP governing is Bylaw 7925 (2017), with the City's Interim Development Review Framework (first endorsed 2024, updated June 2026) governing how applications are reviewed while policy changes are underway.
  • SSMUH / infill position (New Westminster): Queensborough SSMUH compliance runs on the extended provincial timeline to May 4, 2029. A duplex is the baseline two-unit form; infill potential does not by itself split a duplex into separately titled halves.
  • North Arm = Zone 2. Pull the specific property's flood construction level and insurance position before subjects come off.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC duplex and half-duplex buying rules.
