The Muharraq Municipal Council has issued a series of recommendations in its weekly meeting aimed at improving infrastructure and addressing resident concerns. Key decisions include plans for coastal development, building regulation reform, and resolving a dispute over the removal of landscaping in Diyar Al Muharraq.

The council strongly advocated for the development of Halat Bu Maher’s coastline into a public beach, benefiting residents of the fourth constituency and the wider Muharraq governorate. They have called for immediate budgetary allocation and the commencement of preliminary design work.

To ease development restrictions, the council proposed increasing the building-to-land ratio in Diyar Al Muharraq from 120% to 180%. This adjustment is intended to simplify building expansions and facade renovations for residents. A proposal for a dedicated hotline for reporting emergency service issues to the Ministry of Works was also submitted.

Landscaping

In a separate but significant matter, the council is addressing the Minister of Municipalities regarding complaints from Diyar Al Muharraq residents concerning the removal of landscaping from in front of their homes.
