The government has unveiled a revised land use plan for Gulhifalhu, confirming that all land plots allocated under the former administration’s Binveriyaa Scheme will now come exclusively from reclaimed areas of the island.

Originally, during former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s tenure, land was designated to eligible Malé residents from both reclaimed and unreclaimed zones of Gulhifalhu. However, delays and challenges in reclaiming the deeper portions of the lagoon hindered the formal handover of many of these plots.

In response, the current administration moved to reclaim an additional 85 hectares of land and subsequently amended the land use plan. The updated framework includes provisions for 3,520 new plots, all situated on newly reclaimed land—streamlining the path to registration and ownership.

The second amendment to the plan, released this past Saturday, outlines the designated area for plot issuance. While the document marks the general zone of allocation, it stops short of pinpointing individual plot locations.

Beyond residential housing, the plan incorporates spaces for government offices, commercial developments, schools, mosques, and tourism-related infrastructure—indicating a broader urban development vision for Gulhifalhu.
