Male' City Council has decided to conduct a meeting to gather public opinion for the proposed land-use plan of the city.
The city council said the meeting will be held online, at 2030hrs on June 15. The link to the online meeting has been shared in the Government Gazette.
Mayor of Male' City Dr. Mohamed Muizzu said the meeting is being held in collaboration with the Ministry of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. The mayor said individuals who log into the online meeting will be able to share their opinion on the land-use plan through chat. He added opportunities will also be given for participants to speak at the meeting as much as time permits.
The new Decentralisation Act grants local councils the authority to formulate land-use plans with input from residents, and design development projects accordingly. Government ministries are tasked with assisting the local councils to implement the plans.
