The draft Interim Dehcho Land Use Plan proposes seven types of zones that describe where and under what conditions land use can take place. It currently provides for some degree of protection of approximately 40% of the Interim Plan Area (or 50% of the Dehcho Region when Nahanni National Park Reserve is added in), with the rest open to development. Other public northern land use plans have lower levels of protection (Gwich’in LUP ~10%; Sahtu LUP ~18%). The Tlicho LUP, which only applies to Tlicho Lands, has ~60% protection. Beyond zoning, the Dehcho plan provides similar types of direction to other land use plans.
