Description

Integrated resource plans (IRPs) provide direction for managing Alberta's public land and resources. When IRPs are developed, information on resources and activities is gathered and the views of interested government departments, municipal authorities, interest groups and the general public are considered. After it has been approved by the Economic Planning Cabinet Committee, an IRP is implemented by government agencies and the private sector. IRPs are flexible. As new information becomes available or situations change, revisions or plan amendments can be made to an approved plan.
