A proposal to establish a public walkway and commercial kiosks around the Buhair Valley water reservoir, located between blocks 934 and 937 in north Riffa, has been unanimously approved by councillors.
The initiative seeks to transform the area surrounding the reservoir into a vibrant recreational and commercial hub, offering a much-needed outlet for local residents and families, while also opening doors for national investment and job creation.
The proposal, submitted by Southern Municipal Council Chairman Abdulla Abdullatif, has been now referred to Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael Al Mubarak, for review and further co-ordination with relevant authorities.
“North Riffa is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the Southern Governorate, but it still lacks basic public facilities like parks or walkways,” said Mr Abdullatif, who is also the area’s councillor.
“This project will offer a safe and scenic space for walking, running and other exercise activities, while the kiosks will meet the daily needs of families and add life to the area.”
