“They don’t have ownership for the area but it’s one we are rectifying. It’s one we are regularising,” he said.

Croal explained that in 2001 and 2004, surveys were conducted and the verified owners made payments for the lots.

Allocation letters were subsequently issued, he said.

However, Croal said the Certificates of Titles were not processed since there was a challenge verifying of ownership of the area.

As such, Croal said the Surveys Unit conducted research and the information was submitted to the Corporate Legal Secretariat.

And based on advice, he said a Draft Order was sent to the Attorney General Chambers for a commencement order to be published in the Official Gazette to declare the area a Land Registration Area.

Once completed, Croal said the transport has to be converted to title and then individual titles will be processed.

“We are finalising a list of areas. I don’t want to do one area by itself. I am doing a list of areas for which we will start the gazetting and then we will have to do what’s called a converting the transport to land registration,” Croal explained.

“In order to do that, the issue is the land so I am told the area is transport so we have to convert that to land registry,” he added.

The process is likely to take two months and according to Croal, the residents can expect to receive their Certificate of Titles within the next quarter of the year.
