The Land Use Planning Act (Canada)

The Land Use Planning Act in Canada provides a framework for managing how land is developed and used. It aims to ensure sustainable growth by guiding decisions on zoning, resource management, and community development. Through this act, local governments create land use plans that balance environmental protection, economic development, and public interests. It encourages consultation with communities and stakeholders, ensuring that the needs of different groups are considered in land use decisions. Overall, the act promotes organized and responsible land use to enhance the quality of life and preserve natural resources for future generations.
