New OnLine Services for Land Act Business

Prince George, B.C. – There are two new online services available through FrontCounter BC.

Minister of Forests and Range, Pat Bell, says the two options will make it easier for rural residents to speed up the process on land-act business.

The first new online service allows clients to submit an application and pay for the application for eight Crown land authorizations that range from private moorage, to cell phone towers, to general industrial use. The online service is available 24/7 at www.frontcounterbc.gov.bc.ca/vfcbc/index.html and includes a self-help function to ensure people submit all required information.

The second service, the FrontCounter BC Discovery Tool, allows anyone to view any area of land within the province and find out basic information on how that land is being used. Individuals considering submitting a land use application to FrontCounter BC can log onto www.frontcounterbc.gov.bc.ca/mapping/index.html and see if other interests or tenures already exist in that region.

This is a joke. The province banned the sale of crown land about a decade ago for residential, farm, or commercial uses unless you are a heavy tax paying multinational corporation, or an existing farmer with over a 100 acres within 10km of parcel in question. This new online thing is so that the people won't have to deal directly with the ignorant overpaid authoritarian adminstrators in the land titles office that are reserving our province for rich foreigners at the expense of local enterprise... the province is in the process of killing off the rural lifestyle, and this is part of their strategy sold as a tool to help the rural folk.
