what it covers
Mapping a project’s approvals path.
Four tenure regimes, the assessment triggers that attach to each, utility and water permits, holding structure, and the instruments that give a review process force. Six sub-modules, ending in an approvals map for your own land base and a scoping brief for counsel. A data centre is not a designated project federally, and provincial assessment does not reach reserve land.
01
Identify the tenure regime
The land base placed in one of four regimes, with the development constraints and law-making powers it carries.
02
Determine the assessment triggers
Which environmental and building approvals a described project attracts, and which reach it at all.
03
List the permits and their holders
Each permit a project requires, the party holding it, and which of them are open to challenge.
04
Match objective to instrument
A governance aim paired with the law, by-law or agreement capable of carrying it.

Assessment triggers and regulatory gaps
Which environmental and building approvals a described project triggers, and which reach it at all.
Interconnection and water licensing
Every permit a project requires, the party holding each, and which are open to challenge.
