The Land Use Planning Act

The Land Use Planning Act governs how land is used and developed in a specific area. Its main goal is to guide urban planning, environmental protection, and community development by establishing rules and regulations for zoning, land use permits, and building codes. This ensures that land is used efficiently and sustainably, balancing the needs of the community with environmental conservation. The Act involves public participation, allowing residents to voice their opinions on proposed developments, thereby fostering a collaborative approach to planning and ensuring that land use decisions benefit the community as a whole.
