Port Moody expects to hike Rocky Point Park boat launch fees next year due to increase costs and maintenance, which will affect a long-standing agreement with the City of Burnaby.
After getting preferential treatment for 55 years, Burnaby residents could face a 280 per cent fee increase to use Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park boat launch.
Burnaby residents currently pay the resident rate of $177.75 for a yearly pass. Next year, the non-resident pass, which Burnaby residents would pay, is proposed to cost $500. The resident pass would cost $285. Port Moody is now required to “dispose of dredgeate materials through upland disposal and not ocean disposal as was previously allowed.” It means industrial pollutants found in the Burrard Inlet’s sediment can’t just be dumped in deeper water but must be transported to specialized facilities.
