Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the Jamaican Government intends to simplify the subdivision application process in order to make land ownership easier for Jamaicans.
Subdivision is the process of dividing a parcel of land into a number of lots and obtaining individual titles.
A subdivision can be useful for residential, commercial, agricultural or industrial purposes.
Concerns have been raised that the process for approval is often cumbersome and challenging, involving assessment and review of application by various agencies, and needs to be simplified.
The prime minister says in order to make the process more expeditious, consultations and partnerships will be required with various stakeholders.
He said the objective is to eliminate some of the redundant steps in the procedure and reduce the bureaucracy.
