Agricultural Land Reserve

  • THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT of the Regional District can tell you if your land is located within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
  • IF THE LAND IS WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL LAND RESERVE (ALR), you cannot subdivide, use the land for any use other than farming, or have more than one single family dwelling unit on each lot unless specifically allowed by the ALR Act or you have received permission from the PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION.
  • Applications to the AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION to remove land from the ALR, to subdivide land within the ALR, or to use ALR land for non-farm purposes, are made through the REGIONAL DISTRICT PLANNING DEPARTMENT. Assistance is available to ensure a complete application.

Be prepared to wait from two to several months before a decision to approve or reject your application is made by the Agricultural Land Commission.
