CROWN GRANT Clause Samples
A Crown Grant clause defines the legal transfer of land or property from the government (the Crown) to an individual or entity. This clause typically outlines the terms under which the grant is made, such as the rights conveyed, any restrictions or conditions attached, and the process for formalizing the transfer. For example, it may specify that the recipient receives full ownership subject to certain public rights or ongoing obligations. The core function of this clause is to formalize and clarify the government's conveyance of property rights, ensuring both parties understand the extent and limitations of the grant.

CROWN GRANT. From the early 1800s to 1865, Crown Grants were the major means of allocating Crown timber. A Crown Grant is the legal instrument by which ownership of Crown land is transferred to private ownership. TLs were implemented in 1979 under the Forest Act to replace an array of “old temporary tenures.” TLs convey exclusive rights to harvest merchantable timber (“trees that were 75 years old on Jan. 1, 1975”) from a specified area of Crown land. TLs that are part of a tree farm licence (TFL) are managed in accordance with the approved TFL management plan. For TLs not in a TFL, the licensee is responsible for protection, operational planning, road building, and reforestation. When a TL expires (after harvest and reforestation), the TL area either remains within the TFL or is added to a timber supply area (TSA). TFLs convey the nearly exclusive right to manage forests and to harvest an allowable annual cut (AAC) of Crown timber from the licence area, which may be comprised of private and Crown lands. TFLs carry the greatest management responsibilities, including protection, maintaining resource inventories, strategic and operational planning, road building, and reforestation. Most TFLs require the licensee to maintain a manufacturing facility. Licensees must use logging contractors for part of the volume harvested during a calendar year. TFLs have a term not exceeding 25 years and are replaceable every 5 years. WLs are similar to TFLs in composition (private and Crown land), exclusive rights (to manage forests and to harvest an AAC), and responsibilities (protection, management plan, reforestation). In view of their smaller size—400 ha Crown land on the coast, 600 ha in the interior—WLs have streamlined planning, cut control, and operational requirements. WLs are issued to individuals, native bands, and small corporations. WLs have a term not exceeding 20 years and are replaceable every 10 years. The “major licence” form of the TSL, with an AAC >10 000 m3, conveys the right to annually harvest timber within a TSA, under cutting permits. The licensee is responsible for protection, planning, and reforestation activities. Major TSLs have a term not exceeding 10 years and most are replaceable on expiry. A PA grants a conditional right to harvest “pulp-quality timber” if the holder is unable to obtain sufficient suitable, reasonably priced furnish for its mill. The PA holder is required to construct and maintain a manufacturing facility (e.g., pulp mill, oriented strand...
