The containment zone list is relevant to residents, owners, occupiers, businesses and property professionals checking whether a particular address was within a notified containment zone on 14 May 2021. Each entry identifies a specific locality, street, building, apartment, construction site, company site or similar location.
The notification concerns public health containment demarcation. It does not state that any listed property changes ownership, title, land classification or permitted land use.
