Amended land-use Act addresses landowner concerns

Earlier this week, the Government of Alberta introduced Bill 10, the Alberta Land Stewardship Amendment Act, "to clarify the original intent of the legislation - to plan for the future needs of Albertans and manage growth, while respecting existing property rights. 

Bill 10, the Alberta Land Stewardship Amendment Act will create a review process for people who believe they are directly and adversely affected by a regional plan. It will also require public consultation during planning and that draft regional plans be provided to the Legislature before being approved."
