Timberland Development

Timberland Golf Resort

This development is located near Pasadena, about 30 km N.E. of Corner Brook. There seems to be local opposition, government red tape, and boundary disputes holding up developments such as this one.

Quote:
PASADENA — Work on the Timberland Golf resort remains at a standstill, but its proponent is hoping to resolve the outstanding issues it has with the Town of Pasadena.

The Town issued a stop-work order at the site just east of Pasadena in December 2006, three days after it had learned site work had begun on the property without the necessary permits and approvals being obtained. The order also demanded the property be returned to its natural state within 30 days.

When work continued at the site months later, the town threatened to get a court injunction and ended up following through on that action. An interim injunction issued by the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in the spring of 2007 was made permanent this past January.

In addition to the stop-work order and subsequent legal action, the Town of Pasadena also submitted a feasibility report to the Department of Municipal Affairs last December on a proposed expansion of its municipal boundaries. That proposed expansion would result in all of the Timberland Golf Resort coming under the municipal boundary.

Under the current boundary, only a small portion of the resort development is within the town.

The plan for Timberland Golf Resort is to build 337 luxury residential homes with a publicly accessible, 18-hole championship golf course, a clubhouse/recreation centre, equestrian facilities and a network of nature trails. The project is expected to generate about 350 jobs during construction and around 150 jobs upon completion.
