Land-use Planning
Land-use planning is a responsibility shared by the provincial government and local municipalities. It is governed by several
pieces of legislation including the Public Lands Act (PLA) and Municipal Government Act (MGA).
The coordination of planning activities is a key factor in sustainable development and long-term use of public lands. It
also helps achieve local economic development and land use objectives.
For more information on planning activities you can read About Public Lands
It is important that municipal planning efforts complement provincial policies and initiatives. Especially as the municipalities
adjust to the changing planning structure and their additional responsibilities in keeping with planning legislation of
the Municipal Government Act (MGA) and the Land Use Policies developed pursuant to Section 622 of the
MGA.
Land Management Planning Initiatives
Luscar and Gregg River Mines Land Management Plan
Sustainable Resource Development is leading the development of Luscar and Gregg River Mines Land Management Plan (LMP).
The plan will enable the “phasing-in” of certain land uses and public access over a number of years. Protecting the reclamation
efforts and allowing it time to successfully establish will result in economic, recreational and ecological benefits in
the future. The plan will guide land and resource management on public land when current mining activities and reclamation
concludes at the Luscar and Gregg River mines.
After considering the input provided by the public during the open house session held on January 27, 2010, Luscar and Gregg
River Mines LMP Working Group completed a draft plan.
Local MLA Robin Campbell and the Luscar and Gregg River Mines LMP Working Group would like your feedback on the draft plan.
A public open house will be held October 11, 2011 at the Hinton Centre (965 Switzer Drive) from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Your input
will be considered during the drafting of the final plan.
To provide input or to find out more information about the draft land management plan, please contact
