Government issues new coastal rules for North Coast projects

The Egyptian government has continued its efforts to formalize land use and ownership along the North Coast. In recent days, several new regulations and procedures were introduced, including additional fees and a requirement for developers to obtain approval from a newly formed five-member committee responsible for ensuring environmental compliance.

The Ministry of Housing, along with the Ministries of Irrigation and Tourism, will oblige real estate companies operating on the Northwestern Mediterranean coast to secure clearance from the committee before proceeding with any construction activities.

The five-member committee is tasked with reviewing project designs to ensure compatibility with environmental standards. Its responsibilities include preserving the shoreline, protecting the marine environment, and preventing further coastal erosion, in an effort to avoid the recurrence of past degradation incidents that prompted public complaints.

The committee comprises representatives from the Ministries of Housing, Agriculture, Irrigation, and Environment, as well as the Shore Protection Authority. The group will assess engineering plans and master layouts to ensure that upcoming developments do not adversely affect the natural coastline.
