KUWAIT CITY, Jan 7: The executive body of Kuwait Municipality, represented by the Structural Plan Department, responded to questions submitted by the Municipal Council member Sharifa Al-Shalfan regarding the development of the Al-Sawaber Complex site. According to the response, which was approved by the Deputy Director General for Urban and Structural Planning Affairs Manal Al-Asfour, the Al-Sawaber Complex site is considered investment housing, due to which the regulations for building investment housing within the city limits apply to it. It also complies with the planning and zoning system as recommended by the country’s fourth structural master plan.

In addition, the location of Al-Sawaber Complex is in the T6 sector classification. Regarding Al-Shalfan’s question about the mechanisms and options available to develop the site, the municipality indicated that the site is currently considered as state property and belongs to the Ministry of Finance, and it has not submitted any proposals regarding it until the date of the municipality’s answers to member Sharifa Al-Shalfan’s questions. In a related context, Kuwait Municipality informed the Municipal Council that it had sent a letter to the National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL) and the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET) to nominate a representative to attend the meetings of the Municipal Council’s committees to discuss the request submitted by NCCAL to adding a training institute activity in preserved historical buildings. These meetings are intended to be held after the end of the spring break period on January 21 for the members of the Municipal Council.
