Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, on Sunday approved a new organisational structure for Dubai Municipality.
Sheikh Hamdan said approving a comprehensive restructuring of Dubai Municipality comes in implementation of the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, issued during an earlier Dubai Council meeting, to reduce costs by Dh8 billion and create economic opportunities worth Dh10 billion.
Under the new structure, Dubai Municipality will include two main sectors, the planning and governance sector, and the institutional support services sector, in addition to four new entities that will operate under the supervision and management of the municipality.
The new entities include the Public Utilities Establishment, the Environment, Health, and Safety Establishment, the Building Regulation and Licensing Establishment, and the Waste and Sanitation Establishment.
