Can a location be put on hold?
The City of New Westminster does not hold or reserve any location(s) that you have expressed interest in. Other productions may be inquiring about location(s) in the area(s) you have expressed interest and the Film Office needs to prevent multiple productions from filming in the same area or filming an area too frequently.
The only way to tentatively secure a location is by submitting a Filming Application after the location has been properly qualified with the Film Coordinator to the point of understanding that the production company has a firm interest in the location(s).
