More than 3000 house lots allocated across Reg. 10 – Croal

Minister of Housing, Collin Croal, today announced that the Ministry of Housing–Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) is working towards clearing the backlog of house lot applications in Region Ten by the end of 2027.

He mentioned the next phase of allocations in the region is expected to commence in the coming months, with priority being given to applicants who have acknowledgement letters dated 2025 and prior.

The announcement was made today during a community outreach led by President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali at the Coomaka Community Centre Ground.

To date, more than 3,000 house lots have been allocated across Region Ten, as the Government continues to expand access to affordable housing and advance infrastructure development throughout the region.

Minister Croal also provided an update on the regularisation process of an area in the Coomaka community. He disclosed that 154 lots have been identified and an occupancy survey has already been completed. He said the government recognised 154 lots, and has done the occupancy survey.

“We now have to redo the plan. I noted that verification and resurveying are expected to be completed by the end of September. Thereafter, the Ministry will commence the necessary legal process to have the plan formally recognised, paving the way for the transfer of the lands and ultimately providing residents with greater security of tenure,” he highlighted in a social media post.

The engagement formed part of the Government’s ongoing outreach in Region Ten, allowing residents to raise concerns directly with officials and receive updates on housing and other developmental matters.
