Abstract
This Act makes provision for spatial planning and for this purpose creates the Interdepartmental Coordination Commission for Development Planning. One or more structure plans are established by the Minister, after consultation with the Commission and district authorities, for the Paramaribo district and for the residential areas in other districts. In the interest of good urban development, a zoning plan is established by State Decree of the Minister (again after consultation with the Commission) for the entire area for which a structure plan has been established or for one or more parts. The Act provides for land parcelling/land consolidation plans. Land parcelling shall take place in areas for which a structure plan has been established with the approval of the Minister. The Act also provides for compensation of damages that may be caused by zoning plans and possible expropriation. Some provisions concern also agricultural land and waterworks.
