The North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan applies to the North Yukon Planning Region which largely falls within the Traditional Territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation. This plan was developed by the North Yukon Regional Planning Commission and was approved by the Yukon Government and Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Governments in 2009.

Since 2009, those two governments have led the implementation, with some support from the Yukon Land Use Planning Council. There is no longer a North Yukon Planning Commission in place.
