The province is proposing changes to the regulations within the Public Lands Act to support better land management and stewardship. The Public Lands Act prescribes what is legally allowed or prohibited on public land. The changes will set out specific rules, for example, how visitors can use public land, how the rules are enforced, and how appeals are heard.

Public consultation is a key step in the process to develop these new regulations. Public comments will be reviewed and considered in guiding the development of the new regulations.

Visit the SRD Surveys website to review the Public Lands Act Consultation FAQs, read the full text of the proposed Public Lands Administraton Regulation, and complete the Public Lands Act Survey.
