Dubai gets a new law to define land plot allocation to public entities: Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum issued a new law to regulate the allocation of government land plots to public entities in Dubai, state news agency Wam reports.

The law outlines specific criteria for land allocation, including the urgency of the land’s need based on economic, security, social, and service factors. It also considers land availability and the importance of the proposed use.

Dubai Municipality is tasked with overseeing land allocation. Its responsibilities include receiving and assessing land allocation requests, determining the location and size of the plots, and issuing site maps. The Municipality also maintains a registry of land data and has the authority to reclaim allocated plots, change their location, or remove any constructions if conditions specified in the law are met.
