Barbuda’s Land Adjudication Process Advances
The Land Adjudication Process in Barbuda is moving forward, with significant progress in delivering notices to the public.
To ensure full community participation, members of the Adjudication Committee traveled to Barbuda to personally distribute the relevant Section 5 and 6 notices and registration forms pursuant to the Land Adjudication Act, Cap. 234. This is a pivotal step in the ongoing land registration process. The notices and forms are now available in several key public offices around the island, providing easy access for residents and interested parties.
The following locations have been designated as points where the notices can be accessed:
• Antigua and Barbuda Public Utilities
• Barbuda Police Station
• Barbuda Fire Station
• Antigua Commercial Bank
• Sir McChesney George Secondary School
• Holy Trinity Primary School
• Barbuda Electoral Office
• Radio Light House
Citizens are encouraged to visit these locations to review the notices and participate in the land registration application process. The application process remains ongoing, and individuals can submit their applications for land registration in all nine adjudication sections. The nine Registration Sections are as follows:
1. West Coast
2. Palmetto
3. South Coast
4. Salt Lake
5. East Coast
6. Midlands
7. Two Foot Bat
8. North Coast
9. Lagoon
This critical step in Barbuda’s land adjudication process is crucial to ensuring proper land ownership documentation, security, and development. The government encourages all eligible Barbuda citizens to register their lands and participate in this process.
Written claims may be delivered to the Antigua Public Utilities Authority, the Police Station, or the Fire Station in Barbuda or in Antigua at the Land Registry on High Street or the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Parliament Drive during normal working hours or via email at [email protected]
Claim forms may be obtained in Barbuda at the Antigua Public Utilities Authority, the Police Station or Fire Station, or in Antigua at the Land Registry or the Ministry of Legal Affairs during normal working hours or online.
The adjudication team will be conducting an interview with the Barbuda Chanel on Wednesday, 8th January, at 4:15 PM to further inform members of the public about the adjudication process.
