May 14, 2009Cottage Lots for
Sale in Central Newfoundland
A number of Crown land cottage lots will be available
for public draw at two Central Newfoundland locations. Twenty-one of the
cottage lots are located at Burnt Berry Pond, with another 19 available
at Paul�s Lake.
The lots will be sold as grants (outright ownership),
with the full price due upon signature of the grant document. For Burnt
Berry Pond, the lot prices range from $6,400 to $9,700, while the lots
at Paul�s Lake range from $10,900 to $15,600.
"Our Crown land is a very valuable provincial
resource," said the Honourable Clyde Jackman, acting Minister of
Environment and Conservation. "We are very prudent in our management of
this land, and we are delighted when we can provide an opportunity for
people to share in this resource."
Individuals who are interested in obtaining a lot must
submit an application to the Central Regional Lands Office, 230 Airport
Boulevard, Fraser Mall, Gander. Applications must be received there no
later than 4:30 p.m., Friday, May 29, and applications received after
the deadline will not be eligible.
An application fee of $113 is required, and the fee
will be credited towards the successful applications. This fee will be
fully refunded to applicants who do not obtain a lot. A public draw to
determine applicant selection order through a random draw process for
the 19 lots at Paul�s Lake will be held 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 4,
at the Central Regional Lands Office. A similar draw to determine
applicant selection order for the 21 lots at Burnt Berry Pond will take
place at 11:00 a.m. on the same day. Applicants may attend the meetings,
but attendance is not necessary.
Following the random draws, applicants will be
contacted by certified mail advising them of the ranking of their
application. The selection of lots will take place at subsequent public
meetings on dates to be announced, and attendance by applicants or their
proxy will be required at those meetings.
Applicants are strongly advised to inspect lots and
view on-site system evaluation reports prior to the selection meeting.
Any lots remaining after the lot selection meeting will be offered to
the public on a first-come, first-served basis on the next usual
business day.
