INTER-LOCAL TRUST COMMITTEE COMMUNITY PLANNING BYLAW REFERRAL 
Purpose 
To delineate how a local trust committee will implement a local trust committee referral process for 
community planning bylaws affecting another local trust committee or island municipality. 
Principles 
The inter-local trust committee referral process is premised on the following principles: 
 recognition of each local trust committee’s jurisdiction for making community planning decisions 
within their local trust area; 
 acknowledgement of the potential impact of a local trust committee’s land planning activities on 
the land use planning authority within another local trust area; 
 an understanding that obligations for inter-local trust committee community planning bylaw 
referrals are in addition to any statutory obligations that local trust committee’s may have 
respecting the referral of community planning bylaws; 
 an understanding that inter-local trust committee bylaw referrals process will be based on best 
effort and the deficiencies in such efforts shall not be cause to invalidate the community planning 
decision of a local trust committee.

1.1 During development of an official community plan or land use bylaw, a local trust committee 
must provide one or more opportunities it considers appropriate for consultation with 
contiguous local trust committees and island municipalities to promote the effective 
coordination of planning functions of the respective local trust committees and island 
municipalities. 
1.2 For the purposes of subsection 1.1, local trust committees coordinating a community planning 
process should consider the potential impacts of the proposed official community plan 
amendment or land use bylaw amendment on the adjacent local trust committee area or 
island municipality, including but not limited to visual, noise, traffic, economic, environmental 
or other potential impacts.
