A proposal to acquire a privately owned coastal plot in the historic fishing village of Malkiya for the development of a new housing project serving local families has been unanimously approved by the Northern Municipal Council.
The initiative was presented by councillor Zainab Al Durazi, who pointed to a lack of available land for housing projects within or near the village.
Financial, administrative and legislative committee, chaired by Dr Mohsin Abdulla, reviewed the proposal and issued a favourable technical and legal opinion before recommending it to the council for approval.
The private plot in question – part of parcel number 10027887 in Block 1033 – lies along Malkiya’s western coastline, an area long known for its traditional fishing heritage and close-knit community.
According to Ms Al Durazi, the proposal aims to address “the growing and long-standing housing needs of Malkiya’s residents.”
