Businesses operating in the Al Mazra’a scrap yard have been granted additional time to relocate after the Southern Municipality extended the deadline to July 31, 2026.

The decision follows directives from the ministerial committee for development projects and infrastructure, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, to support a smoother transition to the new site in Hafeera.

Officials said the extension is intended to reduce pressure on businesses and ensure commercial and service activities continue without disruption during the relocation process.

The municipality confirmed that the new site in Block 959 has been prepared in coordination with relevant government authorities to meet planning and technical requirements.

Authorities said the first phase of the project aims to better organise scrap-related activities, improve safety standards and provide a more suitable working environment for operators.

The new facility is also expected to enhance service efficiency, support long-term sustainability in the sector and allow room for future expansion.
