The Yukon Land Use Planning Council helps Government, Yukon First Nations and Regional Planning Commissions coordinate their efforts to conduct regional land use planning. This planning is necessary to resolve land use and resource conflicts within Yukon's regions. The plans ensure that use of lands and resources is consistent with social, cultural, economic and environmental values. These plans will build upon the traditional knowledge and experience of the residents of each region.

Letter to YG

The Yukon Land Use Planning Council recently sent a letter urging the the Premier and the Yukon Government to develop a policy on how Yukon First Nations without Final Agreements can participate in regional land use planning in the Yukon. This is important because three of the remaining four planning regions include the traditional territories of First Nations without land claim settlements (Kluane, Teslin and Northern Tutchone regions). Such a policy will facilitate regional land use planning in the Yukon.

To answer questions from the many new people that are now involved in regional land use planning in the Yukon;
To consider the merits of Structured Decision Making during the production of a Recommended Land Use Plan.

Most of the workshop package is also available electronically, including a report on Structured Decision Making in the Yukon, published in April 2013.
