Land Use Planning

The Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) provides leadership for developing land use plans and agreements for B.C.’s Crown lands and natural resources, including coastal and marine areas. Frequently, this work involves government-to-government collaboration with First Nations.

ILMB also coordinates the implementation of land use plans and agreements and maintains B.C.'s existing strategic land and resource planning legacy. Land use plans and agreements provide increased certainty and form the foundation for balanced solutions that meet economic, environmental, social, and cultural needs throughout the province. They inform both government decision makers and those seeking natural resource development opportunities.
