  • 53 acres of land between Store Bay Local Road and the ANR Robinson International Airport perimeter fence, in the Bon Accord Area – private lands being acquired via the compulsory land acquisition process (orange in  the map above);
  • 12 acres of land between Crompstan Trace and the ANR Robinson International Airport perimeter fence, in the Bon Accord Area, which was acquired by the State in 1996, but never vacated (in blue).
