The Dehcho Interim Measures Agreement established the Land
Use Planning Committee and guidelines to develop a land use plan
for the Dehcho Territory. The planning process will consider the
traditional use and occupancy information that has been gathered to
determine the Interim Land Withdrawals
along with other information on the natural resources and the economic
and social needs of the communities. In return, the plan will revise
the Interim Land Withdrawals based on the new information that has been gathered.
