The Legal and Financial Committee of the Municipal Council has successfully finalized a bylaw for the establishment of seasonal spring camps, which comprises 23 comprehensive articles.

The spring camps are set to commence from November 15 to March 15 of each year, with an option for extension depending on decisions made by the relevant authorities.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Under the new regulations, individuals who violate camping rules or establish winter camps without the necessary permits will face fines ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 dinars. These rules aim to ensure a safe and organized camping experience for all participants.

The Municipal Committee's camping regulations open doors for small and medium-sized businesses, along with companies in the restaurant and café sectors, to utilize designated spots within the camping areas. Additionally, temporary exhibitions can be conducted at locations selected by the Spring Camps Committee, fostering local entrepreneurship and community engagement.

Approved Activities

According to the new regulations, activities licensed by the Ministry of Commerce that are permitted include:

• Coffee shops
• Juices and refreshments
• Snacks

These activities must comply with cleanliness standards and regulations set forth by the Kuwait Municipality.

Ministries, government agencies, private companies, and public benefit associations are also encouraged to participate by organizing spring camps in alignment with the proposal guidelines. Camp owners retain the right to rent out their camps according to conditions specified by the municipality, which include restrictions on the use of construction materials and earthen barriers, as well as adherence to environmental controls.

Private companies operating in the energy sector may also apply for licenses to provide energy supply services for the spring camps, following the stipulated conditions and regulations.
