The Mata Grande Road Project does have to be built according to the laws of the country of Belize. The best interests of all those who own lots in the Colonia San Diego Subdivisions (Phase I & II), as well as Ambergris Bay Subdivision, and Grand Belizean Estates is to have road access provided in accordance with the laws of the country of Belize. The road project does need to adhere to the Ministry of Works and Department of the Environment guidelines and permits. The San Pedro Town Council has followed the proper process and procedure of obtaining the necessary permits from the Department of the Environment, the Geology & Petroleum Department (Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment) as well as the necessary mangrove alteration permit from the Forest Department (Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment). This affords a resolution of the matter in compliance with the laws of Belize.

What has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development is development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Based on that definition, and with the proper permits and governmental approvals in place, the Mata Grande Road Project passes the litmus test for sustainable development, as well as being in harmony with the best interests of those who own property and will be afforded access to these subdivisions.
