The Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) has laid down strict measures for 2019 for the land and construction sectors, according to a press release dated 24 December, 2018.

The 3-page press release regarding the working results in 2018 and working plans for 2019 highlights 22 important points of the ministry’s achievement as well as future measures.

Among the measures set for 2019, the ministry will strengthen the implementation of regulations on the land and constructions sectors to ensure their sustainability as well as to avoid social problems that might occur.

Noteworthy measures on the land sector regarding ownership documents. The ministry requested city and provincial administrations to stop checking and certifying unregistered ownership transfer documents that are not attached with a proper layout plan as recognised by the cadastral administration.

In addition, the ministry, through the cadastral administration, will stop registering land and issuance of ownership cards for first-time property registration in accordance with the isolated characteristics. This will be replaced with a new registration and the issuance of property ownership certification instead. This measure is to be implemented starting from 01 January, 2019.

As for 2019 measures for the construction sector, the ministry will strengthen the management of the construction sector through strict measures on inspection and prevention of construction overlapping public land, and unauthorised construction as well as construction that contrasts with layout permits. This measure is being taken to avoid the detriment of the beauty, security, public order, environment, and especially for Cambodia’s coastal area.

Meanwhile, the ministry will also push forward the draft law on construction and regulation in supporting land management urban planning and construction, housing, cadastral, and the management and development of the coastal areas of Cambodia.
