Risk-based planning approach and steps
Risk-based land use planning requires five key interrelated steps with associated tasks. For this framework to be effective, it requires political and institutional mandate and commitment; time and resources to implement each step; and support from stakeholders. This approach may require a change in conventional thinking for decision makers, planners, and stakeholders.

This framework provides a useful reference point but should not be necessarily considered a template. In practice the steps may require feedback loops or be revisited as the complexity of the project unfolds.
