Website expands public review of Crown land-use applications

A new government website improves access to information and public engagement on applications for Crown land use in B.C. Applications for Crown land use range from recreational to industrial use. Given that 94% of B.C.’s land base is considered Crown land, the public has an important say in how it is managed. The ministry sees over 3,500 applications for Crown land use posted each year. …Applications already open for commenting will complete their lifecycle on the site. Closed applications will remain as a public record. The new ARFD website will continue to evolve, and new information and features will be added regularly. To support continuous improvement, British Columbians are invited to provide their feedback about their experience using the website.
