KUWAIT CITY, July 14: The Deputy Director General of the Urban Planning and Structural Planning Sector Eng. Mohammed Al-Zoubi has decided to form a work group to implement the recommendations of the technical committee to study the conditions for issuing licenses to invest in state-owned sports land and facilities of sports authorities in private and investment housing areas, reports Al-Qabas daily.

This move is aimed to discuss the possibility of allocating commercial sites outside private housing areas. These sites are an alternative to commercial spaces within sports clubs and unions located within the private housing areas only. Eng. Al-Zoubi suggested that the team, headed by him, with the director of the Urban Planning Department as the vice chairman, and has directors of the departments of the structural planning and engineering systems, representatives of the Public Authority for Sports, the Kuwait Olympic Committee, and Kuwait Municipality’s Legal Department, an advisor from the Fatwa and Legislation Department, and the Regulatory Services Supervisor of the municipality, and Eng. Mona Essam from the organization department (rapporteur). He highlighted the team’s tasks to include proposing and amending decrees, laws and regulations related to state properties and investment in clubs and unions, so that they do not conflict with the allocation of commercial sites to be an alternative to investing in clubs and unions within private housing areas.

They also must propose the appropriate mechanism to implement the relocation of clubs within private housing areas from commercial spaces after allocating alternative sites for that. Another task of the team will be to suggest the necessary time periods for moving to the alternative sites, so as not to affect the investors and the beneficiaries of the investment.
