PROPERTIES WITHOUT SERVICES

SITE SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not interested in development or subdivision of land at this time and would like to know if a parcel of land is suitable to subdivide or develop, you can apply for a site suitability assessment at the Department of Community & Cultural Affairs. A Property Development Officer will complete a site assessment of the property for safe access onto the Provincial Highway and a test pit inspection to determined soil conditions to support an on-site sewage disposal system if required. This is initiated by the applicant making application and attaining the services of a backhoe operator to dig the test pit.

Consider having a site assessment completed if you are interested in buying a parcel of land for development or own the land and wish to see if it can be subdivided or build on for the future.
