Regional Land Use Authorities

Regional Land Use Authorities are government bodies responsible for planning and managing land development and use within specific regions. They develop policies and regulations to guide how land is used—such as for housing, industry, agriculture, or conservation—ensuring sustainable growth and environmental protection. These authorities coordinate among local governments and stakeholders to create regional plans that balance economic needs with community and ecological well-being. Their goal is to promote organized development that benefits residents while preserving natural resources for future generations.
