Three wards. Five corridors. One statutory plan for how Central Division grows — built from real survey data and shaped with the people who live here.
Ggulu, Ntawo and Namumira-Anthony wards are each getting a Physical Planning Act–compliant Detailed Development Plan, alongside Area Action Plans for five pressure-point corridors. Explore the draft land use maps below, see what's proposed for your street, and find out how the 60-day public exhibition works.

Why This Plan Exists
Central Division has had a Physical Development Plan in place, but a decade of fast, organic growth has outrun it in places. The clearest example sits at Kame Market: trading activity has gradually spread onto the banks of Kame Stream, and the watercourse now doubles as an informal waste channel — narrowing the natural drainage path the whole market relies on.
Every flash flood that closes the market for a day traces back to the same gap: no enforced buffer, no drainage design, no shared, up-to-date standard for where a stall can and can't sit. This update gives Central Division a more detailed, current plan — mapping exactly which parcels are residential, commercial, wetland or reserved, and what can be built where.
Kame Corridor, Namumira-Anthony Ward — the flagship example of what a mapped buffer and a paved walkway solve. See the full diagnostic under Corridor Spotlight below.

Scope and methodology agreed, stakeholders mapped, and the Inception Report presented to the municipal executive committee.
Socio-economic profiling, environmental modelling and structural compliance mapping delivered; Baseline Map Book archived.
Public workshops held in all three wards on 26 & 28 May 2026. Local leaders' visioning matrices archived.
Mapping proposed land use, corridor layouts and structural building guidelines — the drafts above are this phase's output, now nearing sign-off ahead of public exhibition.
Mandatory 60-day public exhibition of the maps, collection of feedback, and formal handover to Council.
Corridor Spotlight
Each corridor gets its own Area Action Plan on top of the ward-wide Detailed Development Plan — here's what each one is solving for.
Intense trading activity at the Namumira-Anthony market core. Recurrent flash floods damage stalls because stormwater has nowhere to go.
Uncontrolled subdivisions are constricting stream channels. Fast development is pushing hard against the wetland boundary.
Severe road reserve encroachment around informal trade nodes. Traffic safety is degraded by structures with no formal approval.
Climate-Smart Planning
Climate-resilient buffers, permeable ground cover and protected wetlands are a core commitment of this PDP — not just at Kame Market, but across every corridor. This is the same Rational Method formula our engineers used to size the drainage buffers, run against each ward's own documented land cover. Change the sliders and watch all three wards respond together, each at its own rate.
