The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Board, chaired by CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, has approved several key development initiatives during its meeting held on Wednesday at CDA Headquarters. Senior board members and relevant officers were in attendance.
Among the approved projects is the uplift of the Diplomatic Enclave and the establishment of a new shopping centre in the area. The board also gave the green light to initiate development work in Margalla Enclave Phase-II under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, in accordance with PPRA Rules Clause F-42.
A revised layout plan for Sector C-13 was also approved. This plan aligns with the Islamabad Land Disposal Regulations (ILDR) 2005 and CDA policies. Under the new plan, land has been allocated for residential and commercial apartments, parking facilities, and public buildings in the sector.
The board further approved the regularization of land adjacent to Plot No 29 in Sector I-8 Markaz in accordance with legal provisions.
In a significant move, the CDA decided to identify and allocate land in various locations for cemeteries to serve different communities. The necessary changes will be made to layout plans to accommodate this decision.
The board also approved a comprehensive strategy for the rehabilitation and activation of dysfunctional waterworks, tankers, and tube wells across various sectors of Islamabad. This includes developing a monitoring mechanism and ensuring timely electricity supply to these facilities.
Additionally, the CDA Board approved the hiring of consultants for the establishment of a Child Protection Institute in Sector H-11/4 at the request of the Pakistan Museum of Natural History, under a government-to-government (G2G) initiative.
Consultants will also be engaged for the renovation and expansion of the Pakistan Museum of Natural History and for completing the remaining infrastructure and construction work of the Police Academy in Sector H-11.
In another decision, a four-member committee has been constituted under the leadership of the DG Law to examine matters related to a commercial plot in Sector F-7 Markaz. The committee comprises senior officials from the Finance, Estate, Building Control, and Law wings. It will present its recommendations to the CDA Board in the next meeting after reviewing all aspects, including the plot allotment process.
