RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AUTONOMY Community-Driven Municipal Model RESOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WATER SYSTEMS Resource Development Autonomy includes natural resources and water systems: potable water, wastewater and stormwater. It examines lawful municipal participation, infrastructure and long-term stewardship. RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS REMAIN CENTRAL Indigenous rights, title, treaties and Crown consultation obligations remain fully applicable. Homeowners, environmental safeguards and fair complaint channels also require protection within governing law. VALUE INCLUDES FUTURE CONDITION Revenue alone cannot define success. Water quality, asset condition, renewal reserves, environmental effects, local employment and community benefit must remain visible across the full lifecycle.
