Moreover, the Department promotes diversity
in the use of public land. Consequently, it grants a number of rights
to use throughout the territory for needs related to natural resources
development, infrastructure installation, practising leisure activities,
and preserving natural spaces. It also plays a critical role in harmonizing
activities and mechanisms for joint action between the stakeholders
responsible for the development of public land. In doing so, the Department
has given itself planning tools so that it can guide interventions
and support land development requests in all areas of Québec.
Public Land Use Plan
The Deparment prepares
and amends public land use plans with the cooperation of the departments
and organizations concerned. These plans aim at ensuring coherency
of interventions across the territory. They convey government direction
with respect to the development and preservation of land and resources,
thereby guiding the actions of gouvernement du Québec departments
and public agencies with respect to granting rights or status on
public land.
Regional Plan for Public Land Development
The Regional Plan for Public Land development defines the choices
to promote in issuing land rights, from the perspective of targeting
harmonious development in the use of public land. These regional
development plans are carried out with regional communities and
government partners that take part in making decisions concerning
the use of public land.
In order to facilitate consultation and the
land rights planning work of regional representatives of the Department
and its many partners, the many land uses have been broken down
into sections:
- Tourism and recreation;
- Commercial and industrial activities;
- Public and community utilities;
- Specific intervention areas;
- Preservation and protection.
The expertise of the Department
with respect to public land planning can be shared with any
government or organization interested in the harmonious use and
optimal development of its territory.
