Development Regulations (N.L.R. 3/01).
The present Regulations are made under the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000. For the purpose of the Regulations «development» is defined very broadly and the definition includes the carrying out of any building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over or under land, or the making of any material change in the use or the intensity of use of any land, buildings or premises. In particular, the Regulations set out standards for land-use zones for Newfoundland in general and the City of St. John's in particular.
