Abstract

These amendments and contemporary changes to the Land Planning Ordinance, are part of institutional strengthening of the lands and survey work particularly for South Tarawa. By defining subdivision in the Ordinance (clause 2), and by adding Part VIA- Subdivision, persons who wish to divide a plot of land must satisfy the Court that there is sufficient land for the families on each of the subdivided parts. This brings the law on subdivision in line with the law on sale or lease or sublease.
