The program will begin in May, after the publication of the Crown Lands Rectification Regulations.

The Ministry of Physical Development, Housing and Urban Renewal wishes to inform the public that the Crown Lands Rectification Program launched Nov. 24, 2015 will officially commence in May, immediately following the publication of the Crown Lands Rectification Regulations.

The aforementioned regulations will prescribe the processing fees, the composition of the Land Rectification Committee (i.e. Committee appointed to deal with contentious rectification applications) as well as categories of land that are deemed eligible for rectification.

The public is also asked to note that in interim, the Crown Lands Office has already commenced preliminary investigations of the submitted applications. This is in an effort to ensure immediate processing of applications following the publication of the proposed regulations.

The Ministry takes this opportunity to thank the public for its continued interest as it continues its efforts to implement a vital and significant policy.
