The Nunavut Planning Commission (NPC), working in conjunction with the Federal, Territorial Governments and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated has finalized the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Section 11.4.1(a) requirement to establish broad planning policies, objectives and goals for the Nunavut Settlement Area (NSA).
The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement requires the Commission to develop a Nunavut Land Use Plan (NLUP). The NLUP will manage land use at 3 levels – areas around your community, the regions, and all of Nunavut. We build the plan by talking to communities to learn what their goals and concerns are for the land lying outside their Hamlet boundaries.
