About Regional Land Use Planning

Chapter 11 of the Yukon First Nation Final Agreements outlines the general requirements of regional land use planning in Yukon.

An arms-length planning body, called the Planning Commission, is established once there is agreement by affected Yukon First Nations and Yukon government to commence a planning process. The Commission is comprised of nominees from the affected Yukon First Nations and Yukon government.

There are currently two regional plans in progress:

  • A Final Recommended Plan has been submitted for the North Yukon region and the Parties are in the review and approval stages.
  • The Peel Watershed Planning Commission has released a Draft Land Use plan for review by the public, affected Yukon First Nations and Yukon government.
