Islamabad’s real estate scene is getting a major upgrade! In a bold move to protect public interest and increase transparency, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) is launching a dedicated housing control agency to address property-related complaints across the capital. 🙌
This initiative was announced during the seventh meeting of the CDA Board, chaired by Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, and is packed with new reforms that aim to make housing investments safer and smarter for everyone.
🛡️ Why This Matters: Protecting Investors & Ensuring Accountability
Islamabad’s property market has seen a surge in unauthorized housing societies, misleading promotions, and slow-moving development projects. To fight back, CDA is taking proactive steps to clean up the system.
✅ Key Reforms Announced by CDA:
- New Housing Control Agency:
A dedicated body will be set up to handle housing disputes and consumer complaints. - Public Listing of Illegal Housing Societies:
A complete list of illegal societies will be published on the CDA website and shared through mainstream media for public awareness. - Zone-wise Verification of Legal Societies:
Citizens will be able to verify housing schemes by checking zone-based lists online before investing. 🔍
🔍 Boosting Oversight: Third-Party Audit of Projects
To keep things transparent, the CDA Board approved the hiring of a third-party consultant for a comprehensive audit of all ongoing development projects.
This move will:
- Ensure internal accountability
- Detect delays or mismanagement
- Maintain financial transparency
💬 “We’re holding ourselves accountable first,” said Chairman Randhawa. “This is the only way to win public trust.”
🌆 City Improvements Also on the Way
It’s not just about housing—CDA is also focused on revamping Islamabad’s cityscape.
Other Highlights from the Board Meeting:
- 🎨 Arts & Craft Village to be redeveloped as a tourism hub
- 🍽️ Food Street & Pedestrian Tracks planned for Blue Area
- 🗑️ RWMC gets 3-month extension for waste management
- 🌍 Eco-friendly landfill sites approved with support from ADB
- Includes Waste-to-Energy technology to reduce pollution and improve sustainability.
