The Halifax Port Authority and the Millbrook First Nation have entered into a memorandum of understanding that sets the stage for the infilling of Turtle Cove in Shannon Park.

The cove is a federal water lot of about two hectares.

The band already owns four hectares of land at Shannon Park in Dartmouth, which is being redeveloped by Canada Lands — the real estate arm of the federal government.

The two-year memorandum of understanding, signed Wednesday by the band and the Halifax Port Authority, gives the parties two years to negotiate a long-term lease for the infilled water lot.
