What the document covers

The CMDA Organisational Setup and Staff List is an administrative reference showing how CMDA is organised and how positions are staffed. The organisational chart is stated to be based on the Government Order dated 15 July 2024, while the employee list records staffing as on 23 January 2026.

The supplied text does not print a Government Order number. It also does not contain provisions about planning permission, land classification, development charges, ownership, registration or property transactions.

Organisational structure

The CMDA organisational chart places the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Member Secretary and Chief Executive Officer at the top. It then divides work among general administration, planning, engineering, information technology, legal, finance and accounts, and non-technical functions.

Key details include:

  • A stated overall structure of 776 posts.
  • 252 planning posts and 52 engineering posts.
  • Seven information technology posts and one legal post.
  • Twelve finance and accounts posts.
  • 435 non-technical posts and 11 miscellaneous posts.
  • Planning units covering area development, area plans, master plans and transport plans.
  • Posts including Chief Planner, Senior Planner, Deputy Planner, Assistant Planner, Junior Planner, Planning Assistant and Surveyor.
  • Engineering posts including Chief Engineer, Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineer, Assistant Executive Engineer, Assistant Engineer and draughtsman grades.

Staff and vacancies

The CMDA staff list provides serial numbers, employee numbers, employee names and post names across several services. It marks some personnel as serving on deputation and records many posts as vacant.

The planning section includes named officers and vacancies at Chief Planner, Deputy Planner, Assistant Planner, Junior Planner, Planning Assistant and Surveyor levels. The supplied extract also lists engineering, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, and non-technical personnel.

Relevance to property owners and buyers

The CMDA Organisational Setup and Staff List may help a buyer, owner or professional understand which types of officers and departments handle planning, engineering, accounts, legal, survey and administrative work. It does not identify the officer handling a particular property or application, and it does not confirm any property's approval, planning status, classification or ownership.
