WHAT WE DO

 

On Wednesday, 12th February, 2025, the Head of Physical Planning Department of Ga Central Municipal Assembly, Mr. Moses Akuffo, led an inspection team from the Department to assess the structural integrity and siting of some buildings within the municipality. The inspection aimed at identifying buildings that may be at risk due to their location or construction and ensuring compliance with planning regulations. During the inspection, Mr. Akuffo and the team visited various locations, assessing the condition and siting of buildings. They checked for compliance with zoning regulations, building codes, and environmental standards. The inspection team identified several buildings that required attention, including those with structural damage, inadequate drainage, or encroaching on water bodies or reserved areas. The Head of the directed the Department to work with building owners to address these issues and ensure compliance with regulations.

Key objectives of the inspection were to ensure compliance, that is, to verify that buildings comply with planning regulations, zoning laws and environmental standards while identifying risks such as buildings at risk due to their location or construction and take corrective action. It was also to promote safety by ensuring that buildings are safe for occupants and do not pose a risk to the surrounding environment. The Ga Central Municipal Assembly's commitment to ensuring compliance with planning regulations and promoting safety is evident in its inspection efforts. By working together with stakeholders, the assembly aims to create a safe and well-planned environment for residents.
