CDA, Lake View Park'ta 15 rekreasyon alanını açık artırmaya hazırlanıyor
Başkent İslamabad'ın önemli rekreasyon merkezlerinden Lake View Park'ta, Capital Development Authority (CDA) 15 yeni alanı eğlence ve dinlenme tesisleri için açık artırma yoluyla kiralamayı planlıyor. Dawn gazetesine konuşan çevre birimi yetkilileri, hâlihazırda faaliyette olan 10 alanın kira süresinin sona erdiğini ve yeni ihalelerin parkın cazibesini artırmayı hedeflediğini belirtti. Aynı zamanda CDA yönetim kurulu, önerilen Safari Park Projesi'nin denetimi için uluslararası bir danışman görevlendirilmesine onay verdi. Bu adımlar, CDA'nın kamu-özel işbirliğiyle başkentteki yeşil alanları ticari olarak değerlendirme ve kent sakinlerine daha çeşitli rekreasyon imkanları sunma stratejisinin bir parçası olarak görülüyor. Lake View Park, özellikle hafta sonları yoğun ziyaretçi çeken bir destinasyon olduğundan, yeni tesislerin hem gelir yaratması hem de bölge ekonomisine katkı sağlaması bekleniyor. Uluslararası danışman atanması ise, Pakistan'ın büyük ölçekli kentsel projelerde dış uzmanlığa yönelme eğilimini yansıtıyor. Safari Park Projesi'nin detayları henüz netleşmemiş olsa da, CDA'nın bu girişimleri İslamabad'ın planlı şehir dokusuna uygun, çevreye duyarlı ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri doğrultusunda ilerlediğinin sinyalini veriyor.

Capital Development Authority plans auction of 15 Lake View Park sites for recreational facilities
ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is considering the auction of 15 sites for recreational facilities at Lake View Park, while its board has given the go-ahead signal for hiring an international consultant for the supervision of the proposed Safari Park Project. Sources in the environment wing told Dawn that the lease of existing 10 operational sites at Lake View Park had already expired in 2023 while five new sites had been planned for auction. “So, besides auctioning the 10 existing sites, we will add five more,” said an official. “We will go to auction of our land (104 acres including 10 existing sites and five new) in Lake View Park Phase II to generate revenue,” he said. Sources said the issue was presented before the CDA board on Saturday and it directed the environment wing to move forward in accordance with the previous board decision on this matter. “In principle, the board okayed this summary and stated that rules and regulations should be followed to ensure transparency, if required. The board directed that the law wing should also be consulted.” Civic agency’s board also approves hiring of international consultant for proposed Safari Park near Malpur In 2007, the CDA in a highly dubious and controversial way auctioned the 10 sites, including some without tenders. In both legal and illegal leases, the CDA fixed very nominal charges of Rs120,000 per acre per annum, meaning those who leased the land only had to pay Rs10,000 per month for each acre of the prime land. The companies given the leases were also supposed to share 5pc of their profits with the CDA. However, sources said the civic agency had received little or no profit as most companies were showing losses in their businesses. “We will ensure transparency and all auctions will be carried out in accordance with PAPRA rules through open bidding,” said an officer. He said that the right of first refusal will be given to existing allottees, whose lease expired, but they are still working till the new lease agreement subject to law wing’s view on admissibility under the rules and regulations. “In new auction, markets rates will be charged as rent and lease will be granted for 15 years with 10pc increase after every three years, extendable for further term of five years,” he added. Safari Park Meanwhile, sources said that the board also took up a summary related to the proposed Safari Park, which will be built near Malpur. The board approved the hiring of an international consultant, who will supervise working of local consultant and will vet design and other components of the project. The international consultant will set enrichment and welfare standards for species, habitats and husbandry. The international consultant will also provide an expert oversight and problem-solving mechanism during construction and habitat development. The consultant will also carry out independent review and validation of the local consultant’s drawing and design and will provide guidance for operations and management of the Safari Park at international standards. It is relevant to note that Islamabad had a zoo namely Marghazar Zoo, which was closed on the direction of the Islamabad High Court due to mismanagement and its operations, including its land and infrastructure, were handed over to the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB). Some years ago, the CDA had showed its intent to revive the zoo by stating that Islamabad High Court in its 2020 decision had not directed that the zoo be closed forever, but ordered that an animal shelter/zoo infrastructure be built as per international zoological and animal husbandry standards. The CDA had stated that the zoo had previously played a ‘critical role’ in the conservation, preservation and protection of different animal and bird species in the Margalla Hills National Park. Now the CDA has decided to set up Safari Park, which will provide drive-through safari experience. PC-I of the project is near completion and soon CDA will go for floating tenders, said the sources.

Capital Development Authority fetches Rs16bn from commercial plots auction
ISLAMABAD: During the first two-day auction of commercial plots at the Jinnah Convention Centre, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) fetched Rs16.44 billion. In this auction, CDA, besides other plots, also put two commercial plots of Sector C-13 on sale. This sector was acquired by CDA in 2008 on a land-sharing basis, but the compensation cases of the land owners remain unclear. “On the one hand, CDA is unmoved to clear compensation cases of this sector. People are still waiting to get their dues, but CDA has put two commercial plots of this sector on sale, expecting revenue of over 10 billion,” said an official, adding that, however, these two plots could not attract the attention of investors. According to details, on the second day of the commercial plot auction, Agro Farm No. 18, located on Murree Road, was auctioned for Rs1,212 million. Meanwhile, Agro Farm No. 17-A, also located on Murree Road, was auctioned for Rs966 million. On the second day of the auction, constructed shop No. 8-A in the Blue Area Parking Plaza was auctioned for Rs151.66 million rupees. Similarly, shop No. 10-A in the Blue Area Parking Plaza was auctioned for Rs147.71 million, while constructed shop No. 12-A in the Blue Area Parking Plaza was auctioned for Rs153.63 million. Overall, on the second day of the public auction, plots worth a total of Rs2,630.87 million were sold, whereas on the first day, plots worth Rs13,806.87 million had been sold. Thursday (today) is the last day of the auction. “CDA is all set to fetch a massive amount after selling commercial plots in Sector C-13, a sector whose original landowners are still waiting to get compensation against their land and built-up property. CDA has been using delaying tactics to pay compensation; land is being put on sale in this auction,” said a landowner/affected person of the sector. He said that C-13 was acquired by CDA on 2-12-2008 under the Land Sharing Policy 2007, but neither any plot was allotted to affected people nor payment was released. He said that in 2023, the CDA board decided to relocate land compensation in the shape of a residential plot for the affected of Sector C-13 to Sector C-14, and an advertisement was issued for the affected to submit their claims. Many affected submitted their applications, and despite confirmation by revenue staff that their land was acquired, no allotment was made. The affected also approached the Islamabad High Court, which directed CDA to compensate affected, but those orders were not implemented. Published in Dawn, August 6th, 2026
