Three government estates in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Area are to undergo redevelopment, the Western Regional Lands Commission has revealed.
The estates to be redeveloped are located at Windy Ridge, Beach Road, and Sekondi Ridge in Sekondi-Takoradi.
According to the Western Regional Officer for the Lands Commission, Dr Asumadu, the aim is to update the local plan, increase the value of land usage, upgrade the infrastructure, and increase housing stock to generate more income for the state.
In an interaction with the media, Dr Asumadu indicated that the reference point for the redevelopment project would be the structural plan of Sekondi/Takoradi, the Composite plan of Windy Ridge and the local plan of revision and the new look for the Sekondi bungalow area in line with the spatial planning development framework.
He said the mapping of the areas was under consideration.
“We are hoping to land on a private-public partnership agreement to execute the project to end the many accommodation problems of the Ghanaian worker”. He said.
The project, fully backed by laws, would be executed in line with the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act, Zoning Guidelines and Planning Standards, the EPA Act, and the Land Act.
