How to Form a Conservation and Development Area (C&D)
How to Form a C&D
Formed by private landowners, a Conservation and Development Area Authority (C&D) has the legal authority of The Conservation and Development Act. The C&D can own, operate and maintain agricultural water management projects, and fund them by taxing landowners who will benefit.
Establishing a C&D can provide a means for landowners to work together in responding to water management issues. The establishment of a C&D will take a minimum of three to six months. This timeline does not include the preliminary stage of defining the project that the C&D will undertake or the subsequent approvals of network projects within the C&D area.
If you have any questions, please contact Client Services at client.service@wsask.ca or call 866.727.5420
Additional support for the development and approval of C&D’s is also provided by the Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association (SCDA) at (306) 385-7272 or info@scda.ca.
