Land Use Planning

The process for land use planning in the Yukon is described in Chapter 11 of the Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA). Regional Planning Commissions and processes have been established and land use planning in the Yukon has been set in motion.  More specifically public reviews and final recommendations regarding draft Land Use Plans for North Yukon are available.

Six of the eight Yukon Land Use Planning Regions, which are at varying phases within their planning process, contain established placer mining operations within them.  As stakeholders, the KPMA is committed to ensuring the placer industry remains a sustainable economic driver in the Yukon.
