Consultation For New Event Lawn At Southlands
The Department of Parks advised of a “proposed change of use for a portion of Southlands Park to accommodate an event lawn for the Bermudiana Beach Resort.”
A Government spokesperson said, “In accordance with section 4 of the Bermuda National Parks Act 1986, a Notice has been published in the Official Gazette and public comments are now invited.
“The proposed event space will occupy approximately 10,750 square feet of the southeastern corner of Southlands Park on South Road in Warwick Parish. A two-week public consultation period, currently in place, will end on 9 May 2024 at 5 p.m.
“Members of the public can find the change of use proposal and the comment form via the Department of Parks’ web page at https://www.gov.bm/department/parks.
“Comment forms should be submitted to parkplaninfo@gov.bm. Alternatively, a copy of the proposal can be found in the Department of Parks’ lobby along with comment forms, which can be submitted via the department’s drop box.
“The Department of Parks is located at 43 Church Street on the ground floor of the Global House building.”

PLP Consultation 101. Zane DeSilva is Chairman of the National Parks Commission it’s a done deal.
Turning public land to private. PLP destroying nature and giving it away to foreigners. PLP are Anti Bermudian.
What a waste of time. “Consulting the public” – right. That diff from how the minister consults the Dept of Planning and their decisions?
The National parks commission doesnt grant approvals for these projects.
But queue the National Trust, BEST, and OBA to oppose anything that speaks to progress.
I seem to recall the PLP Government telling us in 2010 or thereabouts that Southlands would be preserved for Bermudians in posterity. I guess not.
“Consultation”! HA, there is that word again that means absolutely nothing to this Government.
It’s a done deal. Get over it. This too shall pass. Minds have been made up. The Bermuda public will lose.
If anything the area should be turned into a campground. Bermudians love to camp and this area would be near ideal.
Get your OBA to protest. They have to be the worst and laziest opposition ever. Everyone blamed Cole Simons when he was leader but the new one is even worse.
