Land Use Planning Act

The Land Use Planning Act is a legal framework that guides how land is developed and managed within a jurisdiction. It sets out procedures for creating land use plans, zoning regulations, and development guidelines to ensure that communities grow sustainably, safely, and responsibly. The Act involves public consultation and stakeholder input, balancing different interests like housing, businesses, conservation, and infrastructure. Its goal is to organize land use in a way that promotes efficient, safe, and environmentally sound development, while also respecting property rights and community needs.
