Nerja Town Hall has published in the BOPMA the preliminary project for the car park building with 847 spaces next to the new Health Centre. Residents and entities have until August 31 to submit objections.

Nerja Town Hall has taken a key step in the processing of the future car park building by opening the public information period for the preliminary project this Thursday. The action, planned for the SG-EC.2 plot of the PGOU, next to the new Health Centre, includes 847 parking spaces and is considered a priority to alleviate parking pressure in the municipality.

The official announcement has been published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Málaga (BOPMA), marking the start of a month of public exposure. During this time, anyone interested can consult the documentation of the preliminary project and submit any objections or suggestions they deem appropriate.

The deadline for participation ends on August 31, 2026. The town hall reminds that the documentation will be available both at the municipal electronic headquarters, using the enabled validation codes, and in person at the Municipal Contracting Service, on the second floor of the Town Hall, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

This administrative phase represents progress in a project that the local government team considers essential for improving mobility and reinforcing public services. The location next to the new health centre responds to the need to address parking demand in an area of increasing healthcare and commercial activity.

The opening of this procedure comes after the preliminary project has been drafted and technically validated. Now, with the publication in the BOPMA, the door is opened for citizen participation, a usual step in such large-scale urban actions.

The car park building is planned as a multi-level infrastructure, with capacity for 847 vehicles, and its construction and operation will be carried out through a concession contract. The estimated investment and management model are detailed in the preliminary project, which interested parties can examine during the objection period.

For the residents of Nerja, this car park will provide relief in the most congested areas, especially around the health centre and the urban centre. The initiative is part of a broader sustainable mobility plan that the Town Hall has been promoting in recent years.

During the next month, the town hall invites individuals, neighbourhood associations, and professional groups to review the documentation and contribute their proposals. The objections submitted will be studied and, if applicable, incorporated into the project before its final approval.

This procedure does not imply the immediate start of construction but is part of the prior administrative process. After the objection period, the preliminary project must be initially approved, undergo public information again if necessary, and then the concession will be tendered. The estimated timelines for construction will be known once this phase is completed.

Nerja Town Hall has highlighted that this action is one of the most relevant of the legislature in terms of urban infrastructure. Improving mobility and reducing traffic congestion in the centre are objectives pursued with this infrastructure.

Interested parties can access the official announcement through the link provided on the municipal website, where the validation codes for the telematic consultation of the documents are also available. In-person assistance at the Municipal Contracting Service will be maintained throughout the exposure period, during the indicated hours.

With this step, Nerja advances in resolving one of the most demanded problems by its residents and visitors: the lack of parking spaces. The proximity of the new health centre, which is expected to increase the flow of people in the area, makes this infrastructure even more necessary.

The next milestone will be the resolution of the objections and the final approval of the project, at which point the construction schedule and the start of the service will be known. Until then, citizen participation is the way to influence the final design of a facility that will shape the urban future of Nerja.
