Community Notice: Proposed Stirling Commons Development 

Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) is currently evaluating a proposal from Sherringham Holdings Ltd. for a commercial development on airport lands at 9771 Stirling Way, near Beacon Avenue West in Sidney. 

The proposed development, known as Stirling Commons, includes approximately 42,000 square feet of commercial space across four buildings, with plans for a grocery store, restaurant, coffee shop and additional retail space. The development also includes parking, internal roadways, landscaping, bicycle parking and pedestrian connections to the surrounding trail network. 

VAA is the authority with jurisdiction for development and building permits on airport lands and is currently evaluating the proposal. As part of VAA’s review process, the proposal has been referred to the Town of Sidney for review and comment. The proposal remains subject to further review before VAA makes a final decision. 

VAA has reached out to the four W̱SÁNEĆ Nations that are signatories to its Friendship Agreement to share information about the proposal as the review process continues. 
 
Victoria Airport Authority welcomes questions and feedback on the proposed Stirling Commons development. Comments can be submitted to [email protected] and will be considered as part of VAA’s ongoing review of the proposal. 

 
VAA will continue evaluating the proposal and considering feedback received through the review process before determining next steps.
