Through the Musaffah Municipal Centre, the Abu Dhabi City Municipality (ADM) has carried out an awareness campaign to educate the public about the rules governing the city's appearance. The campaign targeted industrial facilities, workshops, occupational shops and community members at Musaffah.
The municipality is seeking to unleash a series of educative campaigns targeting community members, highlighting the laws and regulations. Through this campaign, the municipality aims to educate the public about offences and laws providing for maintaining the appearance and health aspects at Musaffah Industrial Area.
The team overseeing the campaign distributed leaflets and brochures to owners of industrial facilities and workshops and to community members. The Laws Guide of Abu Dhabi Emirate distributed to targeted individuals before the campaign, indicated that Law No. 16/2009 regulates the construction phase in Abu Dhabi, and the impact of these works on the public appearance of the city.
The guide provides for a number of penalties applicable to offenders, and the municipality called on community members, construction sites, workshops and industrial facilities to comply with the applicable laws, to avoid penalties and fines.
Some of these offences are harmful to the city such as engaging in construction works without erecting a temporary wall, lacking security and safety measures for pedestrians, as well as surrounding buildings during the building or demolition works, lack of compliance of the boundary wall with the applicable standards during construction, carrying out construction or demolition works without a proper permit, and carrying out internal works such as internal or external partitioning without a permit.
The list of offences comprise 32 articles ranging from fines of Dh2,000 to Dh50,000 depending on the nature of the offence, and its impact on the environment in addition to the overall appearance of the city.
In keeping with its strategy of maintaining the appearance of cities, the ADM will continue with its inspection and educative campaigns. The municipality is keen on up-keeping the public safety of all road users, and is therefore seeking to remove of all potential risks impacting the health and safety of residents.
