Abstract

This Law regulates all building and land use management in Israel, and establishes a framework for environmental planning. National, regional and local bodies are established to provide for land use planning on all levels: A National Board, chaired by the Minister of the Interior is responsible for overall planning in Israel. The Board's responsibilities include enacting a National Outline Scheme that sets out a framework for planning on a national scale and advising the Government on matters of planning. Six District Commissions, consisting of representatives of the Government and of local authorities, serve as a link between national planning and local implementation. The country is divided to sixty-five local areas headed by a Local Planning Commission. Planning schemes include a National Outline Scheme, District Outline Schemes and local schemes. The Israel Defence Force is not exempt from the requirements of the Law.
