A hunting area is a continuous area, consisting of one or more parcels on which the same hunting holder or a group of holders of hunting rights denotes the hunting right. The approval of a hunting plan is in accordance with Section 1 of the Flemish Government Decree on the administrative organisation of hunting in the Flemish Region of 25 April 2014 (Moniteur belge 12 June 2014). A proposal for a hunting plan must be submitted annually before 1 April by a hunting holder or the game management unit to the district commissioner of the province in which the hunting site or most of it is situated. The district commissioner concerned shall approve the hunting plan before 1 July, after any adjustments have been made, in accordance with Article 31 and 32 of the aforementioned Decision.A hunting plan may be adapted during a hunting season. However, if no new proposal for a hunting plan or a declaration of maintenance of an unchanged hunting plan is submitted before 1 April of a current year, the approval of the hunting plan of the previous year shall automatically expire on 1 July.
