The Court of Appeal for British Columbia upheld zoning restrictions on privately managed forest lands on Galiano Island, affirming the local trust committee’s authority to prohibit residential development despite provincial legislative changes allowing limited residential use. The court’s ruling reaffirmed the Galiano Island Local Trust Committee’s authority to restrict residential development on forest lands. The dispute dates back to 2000 when the committee adopted bylaw no. 127, which prohibits residential use in the “Forest 1 Zone.” The appellants, owners of privately managed forest land, argued that the bylaw was invalid or inapplicable due to subsequent provincial legislation, including the 2004 Private Managed Forest Land Act.
