Works Department
The Works Department is critical for implementing infrastructural policies and programmes — buildings, water, and feeder roads — at the local level, functioning as a well-respected, reliable technical and engineering services department.
Mission
To improve the living standards of Ghanaians by offering superior services through effective stakeholder collaboration for the provision and maintenance of adequate, safe, cost-effective, and socio-economic infrastructure in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Objectives
To ensure an integrated and harmonised infrastructural development; efficient, effective, and sustainable service delivery; and to plan and maintain public works infrastructure at the local level.
Function
To assist the Assembly in formulating policies on works (building, water, and feeder roads) within the framework of national policies, and, among other things, assist in reviewing and approving building permit applications in line with the Ghana Building Code and other regulatory enactments.
The operationalisation of the Works Department with the promulgation of LI 1961 brought a complete and effective decentralised department consisting of the Public Works Department, Department of Feeder Roads, District Water and Sanitation Unit, Department of Rural Housing, and the Works Unit of the District Assembly.
