The Governor in Council may, by regulation made before 30 June 2014—
set apart any Crown land as a timber reserve; or
set apart a timber reserve and an area of Crown land as a timber reserve; or
set apart contiguous timber reserves as a single timber reserve.
The setting apart by or under this Act of any land as a timber reserve shall not be rescinded or amended, in whole or in part, except under the authority and in accordance with the provisions of subsection (4) or section 32 .

Where the Governor in Council is satisfied that, having due regard to the objects and purposes of this Act, it is expedient to revoke in whole or in part the setting apart of any land as a timber reserve, then the Governor in Council may, by regulation, revoke wholly or in part such setting apart as a timber reserve.
