Land Use Plans & Legal Direction By Region

Last updated on June 17, 2020

Strategic land use plans have been completed at a regional or sub-regional scale for most areas of the province. Landscape or watershed level plans have also been completed for many areas. Resource management objectives—statements of desired outcomes for resource values or resource use—are an important part of land use plans and are in some cases legally established to support the implementation of plans or agreements.
