Roberts Bank Terminal 2 involves the construction of a trade-enabling three-berth marine container terminal on new federally owned land, built in subtidal waters to minimize environmental effects. In April 2023, the Government of Canada approved the project, concluding a rigorous federal environmental assessment process. Then, in September 2023, the Government of British Columbia issued an environmental assessment certificate. Before construction can begin, there are several more steps, including obtaining permits (such as a Fisheries Act Authorization and a Species at Risk Act permit), continuing consultation and collaboration with First Nations, assessing market conditions, starting procurement, and preparing for a final investment decision.
