The Plan

The Sahtú Land Use Plan's ("SLUP") 5-Year Review Amendments are in effect as of June 7, 2023.  The 5-Year Review Amendment addendum was adopted by the Sahtú Land Use Planning Board ("SLUPB") on May 31, 2021.  It received sequential approval by the Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated (July 9, 2021), Government of the Northwest Territories (June 6, 2022), and Government of Canada (June 7, 2023), in accordance with Section 43 of the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA).  With approval, as per Section 46 of the MVRMA, bodies having the authority under federal or territorial law to issue licences, permits, or other authorizations relating to the use of land or waters or the deposit of waste, shall carry out their powers in accordance with the land use plan.

Supporting Documents

In addition to the SLUP, there are three documents that support the Plan. Their purpose is to further illustrate the Board’s intent with respect to plan development, implementation guidance, and future planning steps. For clarification, they were not part of the Section 43 MVRMA approval process. As living documents, they will be updated as needed by the Board.

Rules of Procedure

The Board adopted the SLUPB Rules of Procedure on October 23, 2014.
