The Belagavi Urban Development Authority (BUDA) has initiated the process of seeking tenders for a new master plan that will guide the city's development for the next 17 years. The existing master plan, approved in 2014, encompasses Belagavi and its adjacent 27 villages. However, the new plan will see the inclusion of 28 additional villages, expanding Buda's jurisdiction to cover a total of 55 villages, along with the city, upon its approval.
To facilitate the creation of this comprehensive master plan, BUDA has allocated a budget of ?1.8 crore for a GPS-based survey. BUDA's commissioner, Shakeel Ahmed, stated that the new master plan will remain in effect until 2041. The tender process for conducting the GPS-based survey has been initiated, with detailed data collection following specified guidelines.
The consultancy firm will have an eight-month timeline to deliver the new master plan report. The deadline for tender applications is November 23, with application scrutiny scheduled for November 24. It is anticipated that the financial bids will be assessed within the same month.
The decision to expand the master plan to include the additional villages has generated considerable interest and debate among Belagavi residents, particularly as the real estate sector continues to flourish. Several organizations and farmers from the affected villages have expressed opposition to the expansion, raising concerns about the feasibility of providing necessary facilities to communities located 15 to 20 kilometres away from the city.
This development highlights the complex challenges and opportunities associated with urban planning and expansion, as local authorities seek to balance the region's growth and the concerns of affected communities. The new master plan will play a pivotal role in shaping the future development and infrastructure of Belagavi and its surrounding areas, and its implementation will be closely observed by various stakeholders.
