38.3 Call for the Repeal of the Land-Use Planning and Management Act and Urban Planning Bill: A Threat to Decentralization

Proposal

Strongly oppose the recent passage of the Land-Use Planning and Management Act and Urban Planning Bill, which we believe undermines the principles of decentralization. The Act centralizes decision-making power, depriving communities of their ability to plan and manage their own resources. The consultation process for the Act was flawed, and the government failed to consider the input of local councils, technical experts, and other stakeholders. The Act grants excessive power to the government, allowing it to override the authority of local councils and control the use of Maldives land and natural resources without public participation. We demand that the government reconsider the Act and bill revise it to align with the principles of decentralization, transparency, and accountability.

36.4. Appeal against the decision made at the 7th meeting to hand over Atoll Council land 'Avehi' and its associated infrastructure in exchange for compensation

Proposal

The joint evaluation committee of Noonu Atoll Council and Manadhoo Council has diligently assessed the handover procedures for the agreed-upon lands. However, the valuation of land parcel 'Avehi' and its associated buildings was determined through a court process, establishing a precedent. This evaluation resulted in a total cost of MVR 1.73 million.
The valuation process assumed that all developments on the land and buildings represent investments by Noonu Atoll Council, without considering depreciation. Given the current condition of the existing buildings, Manadhoo Council believes the valuation is inflated and proposes to engage in discussions to redefine the compensation amount, aligning it with a more realistic and up-to-date assessment of the property's value.

Proposal

Noonu Atoll Council places an utmost importance on preserving and utilising the natural resources in a manner that would benefit the current and future generations.

The findings from these investigations need to be used by the council to establish policies that prioritise sustainable and balanced use of resources, including a unique Atoll Land-use Plan.

31.3 Budget Reallocation for Quran Competition and Speedboat Fuel Expenses

Proposal

Noonu Atoll Council proposes a budget reallocation to address the financial shortfalls in two key areas: the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses. The budgeted amount of 315,000.00 Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) for the Quran competition has proven to be inadequate to cover the actual costs associated with the event. Similarly, the expenditure for speedboat fuel for rental trips has exceeded the budgeted amount of 412,400.00 MVR. To address these shortfalls, the council proposes to reallocate funds from the activity budgeted for strengthening value-added products in the atoll. This reallocation will ensure that the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses are adequately funded, allowing for the successful completion of these important initiatives. While this reallocation may have a minor impact on the planned activities related to value-added products, the council believes that it is essential to prioritize the funding of the Quran competition and speedboat fuel expenses to meet the needs of the community.
