National Exams, December 2013 — 04-Geom-B6, Land Use, Planning & Environmental Management. Three-hour closed-book technical session. Format: seven questions of equal value (20 marks each); the paper directs that answering any five (5) of the seven constitutes a complete exam (100%), and the first five as they appear in the answer book are marked. All seven questions are solved in full below so the set serves as a complete study resource. Content is framed in the Canadian planning context (the Canadian Institute of Planners definition of planning; provincial planning legislation and official community plans; the British Columbia Protected Areas Strategy; the federal/provincial environmental-assessment regimes and the CSA/CCME contaminated-sites framework), consistent with the Engineers Canada / EGBC syllabus for this exam code.
