BackgroundBackground
British Columbia is Canada’s third largest province, at 366,000 square miles.
Over 92 % of the province is Crown land.
Numerous types and scales of land use plans by different agencies and organizations govern the management of this Crown land.
Stakeholders at every level want and need land use plan information.
Accessing the data for analysis and decision-making can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
Planners and plan stakeholders have difficulty assessing or analyzing plan information.
Opportunity arose to build a useful decision support tool.
