Solomon Islands - Australia Partnership for Governance is seeking a professional, registered, and licensed local survey company to carry out surveying tasks necessary to facilitate the proposed development to sub-divide part of the land at Gilbert Camp.

Overview

MLHS intends to complete the cadastral survey of part of Gilbert Camp in Parcel No 191-052-596. Cadastral surveys involve the precise measurement and mapping of land parcels, so that property boundaries are defined and documented. This will establish legal property lines, assist in land development, and ensure that ownership rights are clearly defined. 

The survey will give the MLHS and the Land Board the basis for determining allocation of formal land titles to residents of this part of Gilbert Camp. Residents will also have a clearly demarcated subdivision, including clearly demarcated corridors for access, drainage, and utilities.

The MLHS is responsible for administering the surveying, registration, and transfer of land titles across Solomon Islands, and oversight for the country’s mapping and urban planning functions to meet the growing demands from citizens, private sector, and government ministries. 

The Ministry ensures land transactions are conducted in a manner that is fair, transparent, and in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations. It uses a set of Acts of Parliament to deliver its responsibilities and services including:

• Registering land transactions in accordance with established procedures.
• Ensuring that land rents are determined based on fair and transparent principles, with timely collection.
• Meeting all statutory requirements related to surveying and valuations.
• Maintaining land records in a secure and accessible manner.
