The Planning and Development Single Window Platform (PDSWP) Bill, which was laid in Parliament some five months ago, was passed in the National Assembly on July 20 after a third reading.
The bill was sent in April this year to a Select Committee of Parliament for the consideration of amendments. At the last sitting of the National Assembly, the amendments were accepted after which the bill was passed.
Minister of Housing, Collin Croal during his presentation before the passage of the bill, stated that it seeks to provide for the management and implementation of the planning and development single window system and to provide for the establishment of the planning oversight committee, among other things.
