More than 1,300 land plots allocated by former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's government from Giraavarufalhu will be transferred to Gulhifalhu.
The former government allocated 9,001 plots of land in the first round under the Binveriyaa scheme from Hulhumale, Gulhifalhu, and Giraavarufalhu.
The Housing Ministry Sunday said land allocation from Giraavarufalhu under the former government's Binveriyaa Scheme lacked adequate provision for essential services in the area. Therefore, the land use plan for Giraavarufalhu has been revised to incorporate such services, leading to the reallocation of some plots from Giraavarufalhu to Gulhifalhu.
According to the ministry, a total of 1,347 land plots will be transferred from Giraavarufalhu to Gulhifalhu.
The number and size of land to be relocated to Gulhifalhu are:
193 plots of 1250 sqft
663 plots of 1650 sqft
487 plots of 2050 sqft
4 plots of 2450 sqft
The Housing Ministry said those wishing to relocate their land from Giraavarufalhu to Gulhifalhu can apply for the change through the Hiyaavahi Portal from 9:00 am Sunday until 11:00 pm on the 14th of this month. If the number of applicants exceeds the number decided by the ministry, the beneficiaries will be determined by a lottery draw. details regarding the draw will be announced at a later date.
