Temporary hold on individual land request as state land inventory progresses |25 January 2024

Last year, the Lands Department within the Ministry of Lands and Housing announced an exercise to complete a state land inventory.

To ensure the completion of this project without causing any impact on land purchase procedures and the quality of data collected, the Lands department is placing a temporary hold from January 31, 2024, on any new requests from the public to purchase individual state land across the country.

It is important to note the hold will be in place for the duration of the ongoing exercise only.

Additionally, this temporary hold is not applicable for individuals undergoing purchase of land bank plots or requesting to purchase land under the land next to parents’.

The Lands department thanks the public for their understanding and support for the smooth completion of the state land inventory exercise.
