On Monday, the Municipal Council, chaired by Abdullah Al-Mahri, held a session where several important decisions were made, including the registration of Dasman Palace as an archaeological and historical site in Kuwait. The meeting also saw discussions and approvals related to communication tower regulations, land allocations, and proposed amendments for building works across various regions in Kuwait.

The Municipal Council officially approved the registration of Dasman Palace as an archaeological and historical site, highlighting its cultural significance and reinforcing Kuwait's efforts to preserve its heritage. This step marks an important milestone in safeguarding the nation's historical landmarks.

A key proposal brought forward by the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) involved amending Clause No. 8 of the conditions governing the establishment of public radio stations. The amendment reduces the required distance between radio station fences and nearby private properties, schools, chalets, and farms, from 20 meters to 12 meters. Despite objections from three council members, the proposal passed, and the Council emphasized that any construction of communication towers on state-owned land will require Municipal Council review.

The Council rejected a proposal that would have permitted commercial activities in areas designated for warehouse use. This decision reflects the Municipal Council's commitment to maintaining clear zoning regulations and supporting appropriate land use within the country.

The Environment Public Authority (EPA) requested the cancellation of a previous decision allocating the old Shuwaikh police station site in the Third Shuwaikh area. The Council granted this request, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage land resources effectively and accommodate environmental needs.

In another significant decision, the Municipal Council granted the Ministry of Justice the renewal of land allocation for the Family Court building project in the Granada area (Block 3) of the Capital Governorate. Additionally, the boundaries of the associated parking areas were adjusted to prevent encroachment on the Jahra Road right-of-way, ensuring better infrastructure planning.

The Council also approved a proposal to revisit and review regulations related to building works and the associated schedules. This review will include examining requirements and specifications for marine chalets, investment resorts, and service centers in various regions of Kuwait. The goal is to ensure that Kuwait's urban and coastal developments meet modern standards and remain sustainable.

The Municipal Council's decisions on Monday reflect its ongoing efforts to balance urban development with the preservation of Kuwait’s cultural heritage, improve regulatory standards, and ensure proper land management. These decisions will likely have lasting impacts on urban planning, environmental conservation, and infrastructural development in Kuwait.
