Notice of Intent (“NOI”) Process & Soil/Fill Use Permits

The Notice of Intent (“NOI”) process is for landowners who wish to place fill or remove soil in the Agricultural Land Reserve (“ALR”). The NOI is submitted directly to the Agricultural Land Commission (“ALC”) for consideration by the CEO. If the placement or removal of fill does meet the Exempted Activities, an NOI application may be appropriate.

Activities requiring an NOI may include:

• Removal or fill placement for single family dwelling or farm structure exceeding 1,000 square metres in area
• Maintenance or creation of a farm road exceeding 50 cubic metres in volume

The Soil or Fill Use Permit is also for the placement or removal of soil in the ALR, but the application is typically submitted through the local government prior to consideration by members of the ALC.

If you are unsure which application is right for you, please contact us by phone or email to learn more and one of our planners would be happy to help! We can be reached at 604-501-1624 or info@pacificlandgroup.ca.
