ILLEGAL STRUCTURE REMOVED AT NORTH STUBBS CREEK POINT

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Wednesday, 7 January 2026: The Informal Settlements Unit supported the removal of an illegal structure located within the informal settlement site identified as PS:24 – North Stubbs Creek Point on 18 December 2025.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The enforcement exercise was led by the Crown Land Unit in accordance with its statutory authority under the Crown Land Ordinance, with security support provided by the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and operational support from the Turks and Caicos Islands Border Force. The Informal Settlements Unit played a coordinating and support role to facilitate inter-agency collaboration and ensure the orderly execution of the exercise.

Prior to the removal, the Crown Land Unit conducted a series of inspections at the site and identified an illegally constructed concrete structure on Crown land. Notices of Illegal Occupation were subsequently posted on the structure in keeping with the provisions of the Crown Land Ordinance. The individual or individuals responsible for the construction failed to comply with the notice, resulting in enforcement action being taken.

One concrete structure, which was at the belt beam stage of development, was removed during the exercise. The parcel is now in a partially reclaimed state following the enforcement action.

The Informal Settlements Unit remains committed to supporting lawful land management and the protection of Crown land. The Unit will continue to work closely with partner agencies to address illegal settlement activity while promoting orderly development and adherence to national land policies.
