[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The development plan (DP) seems to have given the much-needed boost to the Mumbai Port Trust’s eastern waterfront project.
The six-member DP planning committee has recommended earmarking a special zone – port waterfront development zone – for the project.
Under the eastern waterfront project, the MbPT aims to develop 500 hectares between Wadala and Ferry Wharf. The project will include development of land for housing, educational amenities and develop the eastern seafront for tourism by creating marinas, promenades, public parks and cycling tracks, among others. Consultants have been appointed to draft the master plan.
The committee has proposed two new zones — port operational zone and port waterfront development zone. While the operation zone will solely be used by MbPT authorities, the waterfront zone will be meant for creation of amenities and housing for citizens living in MbPT areas.
