Government adheres to Land Law regarding ‘idle plots’

Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Raimundo do Rosário, speaks to reporters.

The Government adheres to the provisions of the Land Law when handling issues related to “idle plots” of undeveloped land, stressed the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Raimundo do Rosário. Mr Rosário made the comments on Wednesday (20 April) after a meeting of the Urban Planning Committee. The Government would initiate procedures to nullify a land concession in cases where leaseholders failed to develop the land according to the timetable and terms stated by the Government, he said. The term length of a Government land concession is generally 25 years. But such a concession can be nullified prior to that expiry date if the concession holder breaches conditions stated in the agreement, said the Secretary. The specifics of such conditions vary from concession to concession, but typically include milestones such as a deadline for submission to the Government of a development plan. Information relating to Government decisions on land concessions is publicly available in the Macao SAR Gazette, Mr Rosário stated.
