A proposal to create a new public garden in the historic agricultural village of Demistan, providing residents with a much-needed community space and enhancing the area’s green landscape, has been unanimously approved by the Northern Municipal Council.
The initiative was presented by Zaina Jassim, vice-chairwoman of the council and representative of the seventh constituency (Demistan, Buri, Janabiya, Quraya and parts of Hamala).
The proposal was reviewed by the council’s services and public utilities committee, chaired by Zainab Al Durazi.
Following the committee’s endorsement, the council unanimously approved the project and recommended that it be included in the 2027-2028 municipal development plan.
The proposed site, plot number (10040731) in Block 1019, lies on government-owned land under the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry, already designated for use as a public park according to its title deed.
“This project is about giving back to the people of Demistan – a village with a long agricultural heritage but very limited recreational spaces,” said Ms Jassim.
“Residents have been asking for a public park for years. It will finally provide families, children and the elderly with a clean, safe and green environment to enjoy within their own community.”
