Kootenay Boundary Regional Land Use Plan
Scenic Areas
Scenic areas are visually important areas that are identified as requiring special management that has not been otherwise provided through legislation. Scenic areas are areas that have received legal designation under the Forest and Range Practices Act. Areas that were designated under the Forest Practices of British Columbia Act have been grandfathered into the Forest and Range Practices Act under section 180 of that Act. New Scenic areas are designated under the Government Action Regulation. The Integrated Land Management Branch is responsible for administering Scenic Areas and the Ministry of Forests and Range is responsible administering Visual Quality Objectives associated with Scenic Areas. The Ministry of Forests and Range has also been delegated the authority to make amendments to existing scenic areas.
Scenic Areas have been established within areas covered by the Kootenay Boundary Higher Level Plan area and the Revelstoke Higher Level Plan area.
