REGIONAL authorities have launched a long-awaited effort to settle decades-old land boundary disputes affecting residents of Adventure Sands on the Essequibo Coast.
Led by Regional Vice Chairman, Humace Oodit and Prime Minister’s Regional Representative Arnold Adams, a government team backed by technical experts from the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) conducted a site assessment recently.

The moves signalled a serious push to resolve overlapping claims and demarcation issues that have hampered development and heightened tensions in the community.
The delegation met with affected residents and landowners, many of whom expressed frustration over the lack of clarity regarding property boundaries, overlaps in land claims and unresolved land titling issues.

Those concerns led to tension among community members, delays in development and difficulty in accessing public services and infrastructure planning.
During the visit, surveyors from the GLSC began physical assessments on the ground, taking note of key boundary markers, existing land usage and historical land claims.

These assessments will inform a comprehensive mapping and verification process to be carried out in the coming weeks.
Speaking at the site, Oodit and Adams assured landowners that their complaints were being treated with urgency.
They highlighted that the government, through the Office of the Prime Minister and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), was working in close coordination with the GLSC to deliver equitable and timely resolutions.

The officials emphasised that the intervention was part of a wider national effort to improve land administration, reduce land conflicts, and promote community development.

The team also discussed the importance of community co-operation during the surveying and verification phases.
Residents were encouraged to provide any relevant land documents and to fully participate in the consultative process.
The officials noted that only through transparency, collaboration, and accurate data collection can these complex issues be fairly resolved.
The visit concluded with a commitment to continuous engagement.

Follow-up visits and public updates will be scheduled as the GLSC progresses with its technical work.
Both Oodit and Adams reaffirmed government’s dedication to supporting the people of Adventure Sands and ensuring that all citizens are treated fairly in matters concerning land rights and ownership.
