NLUA shall convene a National Land Use Policy Council that will assume the land use planning functions of the HLURB and serve as the highest policy making body on land use. It shall provide for the delineation of four land use categories Protection Land Use; Production Land Use; Settlements Development Land Use; and Infrastructure Land Use.

The competing land use priorities are regulated by separate laws, such as the Local Government Code, the Urban Development and Housing Act, the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Extension with Reforms, and the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act. The sectoral approach however, does not adequately address land use conflicts. The basic sectors have called for the enactment of a comprehensive national land use policy to harmonize land use conflicts, protect the sustainability of production systems and ensure social equity.

Flood Susceptibility and Population Density

The People's Campaign for Agrarian Reform Network identifies NLUA as crucial to ensuring the country's food security. A comprehensive land use plan policy will set out guidelines "to protect prime agricultural lands", "set national priorities on land use allocation" and address policy gaps that have led to contradictory land uses and overlapping jurisdictions that affect the tenure farmers. The DA identified nearly 30,000 hectares of prime rice lands in Batangas province in 2003.

Intense climate events, vulnerability to hazards, and stiff competition for natural resources currently present complex challenges to land use planners. The forest cover of Batangas province was over 20,000 hectares or 6o/o of its total land area, while the remaining closed canopy forest was less than 500 hectares as reported by DENR in 2003. Meanwhile, the province's forests and watersheds sustain extensive areas for agricultural production estimated at 150,000 hectares or nearly half of the province's total area. The MGB has set a planning area of over 52,000 hectares or 16% of the total land of Batangas as mine tenements for mineral development. The Bureau also identified hazards outside of the Taal Volcano danger zone including risks affecting builtup areas that in Batangas was estimated at less than 13,000 hectares or 4°/o of the province's land. Despite the constrained settlement area, Batangas' population surpassed the 2.3 Million mark in 2010 and is expected to double in 30 years.

The NGOs for Fisheries Reform names the National Land Use Act (NLUA) as critical to realizing "decent shelter for the municipal fisheriolk" and requiring their settlement areas to be near community fishing grounds. They hold that NLUA will protect habitats such as mangroves by strengthening "the roles of local government units and coastal communities in coastal resources management." Batangas hosts less than 400 hectares of mangroves or 0.1 o/o of its total area as estimated by DENR in 2003.
