Industry, Arts and Innovation District

The City has worked with community partners in and around the Rock Bay area to develop a draft Industry, Arts and Innovation District (IAI) Action Plan, a key goal of the Victoria 3.0 Economic Action Plan.

The IAI District Action Plan aims to enhance the Rock Bay area north of Downtown into a vibrant hub for activities and employment in technology, research and development, the arts sector and Indigenous economic prosperity.

Have Your Say on the Future of Rock Bay!
We want to hear from you about the draft IAI District Action Plan as well as the proposed design guidelines and zoning for the District. Take the short survey before it closes on May 5 to learn more about the project and share your thoughts.
