Note on Declaring Public Benefit Status for the Bukha Coastal Area Planning and Development Project
Within the framework of the royal directives of His Majesty the Sultan, may God protect him, to beautify the coastal area of Bukha and remove abandoned buildings that distort the public view, the Ministry of Housing has prepared a project for the planning and development of the area, with the aim of providing a large number of usable plots of land in preparation for their allocation to the local population, while taking into account planning principles and ratios commensurate with the importance and nature of the area.
The implementation of the project requires that public benefit status be declared to it in preparation for the expropriation of the land and real estate obstructing its path, in accordance with the provisions of the law.
