Preparation of a strategic plan for the Seychelles that will set out the urban development framework for the sustainable growth of the Seychelles over the coming 20 years. The Seychelles Strategic Plan (the ‘Plan’) will cover all of the Islands that form part of the Seychelles but will focus upon the main Island of Mahe’ together with producing a detailed masterplan for the capital city of Victoria. The Plan is built upon a robust and credible evidence base and will be drawn up following a thorough analysis of all issues related to land use planning. The Plan will ensure that the most appropriate strategies for growth and sustainability are recommended when considered against other reasonable alternatives. The Plan will articulate a clear vision for where the Seychelles is aiming in the future and will set out how places within the Seychelles will develop. The Plan will inform decision making, development and investment and will give clarity, direction and confidence moving forward. The Plan will respond to the growing population of the Seychelles and its growing and changing economy whilst ensuring that the country’s resources are used as efficiently and sustainably as possible. The Plan will receive its direction from the Government of the Seychelles. The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council will act as technical support for the Seychelles Government and will be jointly responsible for moving the project forward.
