Land and Resource Management Plans - Overview

Strategic land use planning allows communities, in cooperation with the province, to develop a vision for future land use.

Land use planning sets out a future vision for land and resources. It also outlines the steps that will be followed to achieve that vision. Local plans can cover smaller areas, while strategic planning allows for land use decisions to be made over large regions or sub-regions of the province.

Land use planning is a process designed to promote the development of a shared vision. The disposition of Crown land for all seasons resort development is guided by approved local and regional land use plans, such as Land and Resource Management Plans.

The planning process is open and community-based, structured to encourage participation by the public, stakeholders, and various levels of government. And it doesn’t end when a plan is completed, as completed plans are monitored and adjusted over time.
