You are warmly welcomed to the official page of the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority-Eastern Region.

The Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA) was established with the promulgation of the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act 925 of 2016 of Ghana. LUSPA replaced the erstwhile Town and Country Planning Department (TCPD) of Ghana which had existed since 1945.

LUSPA operate as a National and Regional level authority. We are a Public sector authority under Ghana's Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development.

Our core mandate is ensuring judicious use of land and creating an enabling environment for Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to better perform their spatial planning functions, focus on standards and compliance of planning laws, regulations and policies.
