The Government of British Columbia announced the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan (CCLUP) on October 24, 1994. The CCLUP addresses the long-term balance of environment and economy in the region. It provides access to timber for the local forest industry, certainty for the mining, ranching and tourism industries while also establishing conservation and recreation objectives for many natural values in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The stability and security provided by the plan provides economic and social stability and increased opportunities for growth and investment throughout the region.
The CCLUP was designated as a higher level plan in 1995 under the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act. It was later amended in 1999. The CCLUP guides the application of the Forest Practices Code and other resource management activities within the plan area
A key part of implementing the CCLUP is the completion of Sustainable Resource Management Plans (SRMPs). Eight Sustainable Resource Management Planning areas covering the entire Cariboo Chilcotin have been completed. Sustainable Resource Management Plans address CCLUP strategies and targets on an area-specific basis, and provide detailed objectives and strategies for the management of the Cariboo’s resources and the maintenance of environmental values.
With replacement of the Forest Practices Code by the Forest and Range Practices Act, key values from the SRMPs are now being prepared for declaration under the Land Use Objectives Regulation. Consultation with First Nations is on-going and additional cultural values important to First Nations may be added to the plan.
