City of Powell River has responded to a call from the provincial government to make recommendations about private managed forest land. …Brewer said staff was directed to bring back a report with some suggested feedback for council’s consideration. He said the committee might recall one of its motions at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention in 2018. …One would be that amendments to the Private Forest Managed Land Act are required to give local government more authority over the use of private managed forest land within municipal boundaries because there is very little, currently. …The city could also provide feedback that amendments are required with respect to the exit fee adjustment factor. …the third recommendation could be that amendments are made to require consultation and sharing of plans, or management intent, and long-term intentions around disposition or selling the lands.
