By Zoila Palma: During cabinet’s meeting on November 10, 2026, Cabinet approved plans by the Ministry of Natural Resources to introduce amendments to the National Lands Act to strengthen enforcement against the unlawful or unauthorized occupation and use of national lands.
The proposed amendments will provide for enforcement notices to address violations involving national lands, including reserves, beaches, foreshore areas and the seabed.
The move is intended to provide authorities with stronger measures to address unauthorized occupation and use of public lands and coastal areas. The proposed legislation will seek to improve the management and protection of Belize’s national lands.
Cabinet also approved the Ministry of Natural Resources to begin consultations with stakeholders on drafting new legislation to regulate property agents and property agency work in Belize.
