An independent administrative tribunal, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) is the provincial body responsible for administering the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), governed by the Agricultural Land Commission Act (ALCA), Agricultural Land Reserve General Regulation and Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation.

The mandate is set out in Section 6 of the ALCA and guides all work carried out by the Commission and staff. The work of the ALC to preserve the agricultural land reserve and encourage farming is focused on strategic land use policy, engagement in land use planning and compliance and enforcement, in addition to land use application review and adjudication.
The ALR Resource Technician provides technical advice related to Notice of Intent (NOI) proposals for the placement of fill, removal of soil, construction of residential/agricultural/accessory structures, and other agricultural purposes in the ALR as per ALC legislation and policies with oversight from the Senior Agrologist.
