Meeting
with Governors Reviews Housing, Urban Planning Development Requirements

Muscat,
14 Sep (ONA) — The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning holds a meeting
today in Muscat with the governors to present action plans, address requirements,
and foster direct communication to discuss strategic issues related to the
housing and urban planning sectors across Oman’s various governorates.

The
meeting covered several key topics, including digital transformation, the
addressing system, structural masterplans, and the Omani building code guide.
It focused on efforts to develop urban planning systems and enhance the
efficiency of services provided to citizens.

The
meeting also included discussion sessions on new real estate laws and
regulations, most notably the Real Estate Regulation Law and the Real Estate
Registry Law. These new regulations are seen as a step toward standardizing the
legislative framework, promoting transparency, and protecting the rights of
those involved in the real estate market.

Furthermore,
the meeting discussed updates on housing projects, “Sorouh”
masterplans, and the residential land distribution plan, as well as illegal
land holdings and the mechanisms for dealing with them. This supports the
principle of institutional partnership and contributes to achieving family
stability and balanced development among the governorates.
