Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA) has educated the public on spatial planning activities at the policy fair organized by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service as part of activities marking the 2025 Civil Service Week Celebration and 2024 Awards Ceremony.

The policy fair held from 21st to 24th July, 2025 at the Accra Sports Stadium provided the opportunity for Ministries, Departments and Agencies to showcase their services to the public and create appropriate interface for enhanced service delivery.

 The Authority used the policy fair to display and demonstrate to the public the services it provides and also created the needed interface with public officials, academia, private sector service providers and the public who participated in policy fair.

The public education was centered on the planning and development permits, flood hotspots in Accra, the revised east cantonment residential area local plan, airport west residential area zoning scheme and residential area local plan, petroleum hub local plan, industrial enclave and urban renewal project, Appiatse reconstruction local plan, Ashanti Regional spatial development framework and the national spatial development framework. It also created awareness on the need to adhere to spatial planning standards and process for orderly human settlement.

Some participants commended the authority for the positive steps and expressed their readiness to also share the message with the rest of the public to comply with spatial planning requirements and obtain planning permits.
