From 1971 to 1978, the Provincial “Municipal Act” permitted the Regional District to enter into agreements, known as a Land Use Contract (LUC), with property owners for the purpose of creating specified site-specific land uses and conditions of development.

In 2014, the provincial government amended the Local Government Act in order that all Land Use Contracts would cease to exist by 2024.  Over the proceeding eight years, the Regional District either terminated or discharged all of its LUCs, with the exception of the Contract (LU-6-D) that applies to the St. Andrews development in Electoral Area "I".

This Contarct, LU-6-D, was extended by the provincial government for a period of 10-years in March of 2023, and may be extended further in future.
