When we heard about “a training workshop to review the Draft Belize Land Subdivision Guidelines” – it sounded about as interesting as watching grass grow! But maybe not. The event was held on Tuesday and organizers explained that the information exchange din the room could determine if your street is wide enough to have parking on the shoulder.

“For example the roads, in the past we used to allow road reserves of 20 feet, 15 feet, and these have not been adequate. So the new rules are going to specifically create the provisions for improved road access for subdivisions.”

“A lot of us, especially land consultants should as we have seen along with numerous amount of surveyors have come together to see what new policies and legislations have been put in place and also to look at recommendations by surveyors and us consultants to see how we can best get together in improving subdivisions and so in this country.”
