The Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) is preparing a National Land Policy in an attempt to set a broad macro-level framework for guiding land-related decisions for the country, Commissioner Trevor Benn has announced.
The National Land Policy is one of three main new policy initiatives being undertaken by the Commission, Benn indicated at an end-of-year press conference on Tuesday. According to him, the policy is currently engaging the attention of the Commission and will continue next year.
“The National Land Policy will set a broad macro-level policy framework for guiding land-related decisions for Guyana,” Benn noted, while adding that the GLSC has also commenced work on the revision of the National Geographic Information System (GIS) Policy and there is ongoing work to revise the Land Surveyors (Profession) Act, which is expected to be taken to Parliament in 2018.
