Lac La Ronge Planning Area
The Lac La Ronge Planning Area and the Advisory Northern Planning Commission (ANPC) were established by Minister's Order on January 31, 2006. The role of the ANPC is to advise and assist the Minister of Government Relations with respect to community planning and development matters in the Planning Area (The Planning and Development Act, 2007, ss. 111(4)). The ANPC is not an elected council or decision-making body.
Communities in the Planning Area include (see map below):
The purpose and objectives of the Planning Area are:
a) To manage the use of land of the Lac La Ronge Planning Area in an integrated and environmentally sound manner to ensure ecological, economic and social benefits for present and future generations.
b) To develop clear land use guidelines that allow for controlled, orderly development.
c) To promote the integration of planning processes between the existing jurisdictions in and adjacent to the planning area.
d) To work toward resolving conflicts among users.
e) To provide a mechanism for local public involvement in land use management.
Background:
The authority for land use and development in the Lac La Ronge Planning Area lies with its Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw (under authority of The Planning and Development Act, 2007). The Advisory Northern Planning Commission (ANPC), OCP and Zoning Bylaw stem from the La Ronge Integrated Land Use Management Plan (ILUMP) developed by the Ministry of Environment in 2003 and endorsed by Cabinet. The purpose of the ILUMP was not to focus on the detailed planning required to address land use needs but rather to provide general direction for land and resource management in the “La Ronge Planning Area” over the plan's 5 year lifespan. Under ILUMP, the Ministry of Government Relations was responsible for implementing the policies of the ILUMP through a more detailed land use policy and development regulations. The LLRPA and the ANPC were established by Minster’s Order in 2006 for this purpose and the LLRPA’s OCP and Zoning Bylaw were adopted in 2011.
