Regional Planning
The Regional Service Commissions will be responsible for the development
of a Regional Plan, the aim of which would be to better coordinate and
manage development and land use within each of the 12 regions. More
specifically, the Regional Plans will focus on strategies that foster
sustainable development practices, that encourage coordinated
development between communities, that influence and guide the location
of significant infrastructure (e.g., major roadways, facilities,
trails), and that enhance coordination of commercial / industrial
development. Regional Plans will also serve as an important tool in
better managing, protecting and harmonizing urban and rural landscapes
and resources.
