The Government of Alberta is organizing a review of the Land and Property Rights Tribunal to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
The Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT) is responsible for decisions related to land use planning, development, right of entry, compensation, and assessment matters. These responsibilities, which were formerly managed by the Municipal Government Board, Land Compensation Board, Surface Rights Board, and New Home Buyer Protection Board, were consolidated under the LPRT in 2018.
The process review is being conducted by an external consultant to evaluate the LPRT’s practices and procedures. The review focuses on the complete set of processes involved in delivering the LPRT’s services and aims to assess how well LPRT’s processes meet the needs of all stakeholders, including industry, municipalities, landowners, developers, and the Government of Alberta. This will be the first review of the LPRT since it was established in 2018. Note that the review will not assess LPRT’s decisions or policies.
RMA is pleased to see the Government of Alberta undertaking this important review. Recently, RMA has been actively engaging with members and conducting research regarding the LPRT’s processes. Through these efforts, RMA has been advocating for improvements to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the tribunal’s operations. RMA is committed to the continued advocacy for members’ interests and is optimistic that this review will provide valuable insights and opportunities for improvements to LPRT processes.
As part of the Government of Alberta’s review, the external consultant is conducting a survey to gather feedback from stakeholders. The survey can be accessed here and closes March 30, 2025.
