It was a special moment for the first batch of allottes of land at Stewartville-East, Region Three, who were invited by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) to view their plots and boundaries for the first time last week, a release from the CH&PA stated.
They were joined by Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal, who told the gathering that the combined Stewartville-East and West Housing Scheme area accommodates over 2,100 allottees, the release said. Friday’s exercise was facilitated by the CH&PA’s Surveys Unit and involved the first 200 allottees from Stewartville-East.
Additional batches will be called for a similar exercise as infrastructural work in the area progresses.
According to the release, the first-phase infrastructure works include the land clearing, drainage networks, roads, bridges and culverts. Significant efforts are also being made to develop the main access road to the housing scheme.
“On Stewartville-East we have two more lots to be completed, which will be done in the next three weeks […] and we have one more lot on Stewartville-West to be completed before the month of October is finished,” the release quoted the minister as saying. “It means that everybody in Stewartville-East and West will be able to see their land before October is finished.”
The allottees can now move forward with constructing their homes, as the Ministry of Housing intensifies efforts to promote homeownership throughout the country, the release added.
