THE Land and Survey departments held a roadshow on the Land Code (Strata) Chapter 189 at the Ministry of Development building yesterday, to promote a clear understanding of its advantages among relevant parties and increase the number of applicants for Strata Titles.
An act under the Land Code, Chapter 40, the Land Code (Strata) Chapter 189 was approved in 1999 by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.
The act was enforced on July 1, 2009, permitting landowners to acquire separate Strata Titles for divided building sections of more than two main units vertical or horizontal.
The act was also introduced to encourage investments in the real estate market, which is predicted to boost Brunei’s economic development through the growth of the building industry with the support of both local and foreign investors, in addition to securing private land and Strata ownership rights.
Since its enforcement in 2009, the Land Department has conducted several roadshows across the four districts, but its records still show a low number of applications for the processing and issuance of Strata Titles.
