State-owned land bank: 94 land records in Galle district

The BOI state-owned land workbook lists 94 land records in Galle district across about 20 DS divisions, most of them vacant, with GN division, extent and present land use for each.

Key facts from the documents

• Records with the most entries: Four Gravets (Galle), Bentota, Habaraduwa, Niyagama, Thawalama and Balapitiya DS divisions.
• About half are recorded as vacant; others are under-utilised land, closed or abandoned school sites, forest or scrub, and a few resort plots.
• The workbook gives no investment suitability for most rows; the BOI asks investors to contact its officer.
• Extents are given in acres, roods and perches or in hectares; some rows have no extent.

How to take it further

Download the workbook from the BOI and contact the officer for state-owned lands named on the Available Lands page.
