The Hon. Chathuranga Abeysinghe - Deputy Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development
The Deputy Minister stated that land allocation problems in several estates stemmed from the absence of a national plan and are currently handled by estate-level committees. He said allottees who have not begun construction or submitted plans have been instructed to commence within six months or present a commencement plan, with reasonable extensions possible. If they fail to comply, plots may be repossessed under the lease’s non-use condition and reallocated to active investors.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 This issue exists across several estates because plots were allocated without a national plan. Each estate has a committee that decides allocations. We have now notified all allottees without construction or plans to commence within six months from notice or present a commencement plan to the committee. Reasonable extensions may be granted, failing which, under the “non-use” condition in the lease, plots may be repossessed per agreement and reallocated to active investors.
