A meeting of the regional akimat on the development of housing construction and the architectural appearance of settlements in the region was held under the chairmanship of the Akim of the Kostanay Region, Kumar Aksakalov.Housing policy is one of the key strategic directions of the state aimed at improving the quality of life of the population. As the President noted, it is important to pay attention not only to the volume of housing commissioned but also to its affordability and quality.In the region, funding volumes for housing construction have been significantly increased: if 19.1 billion tenge was allocated from the state budget in 2022, then in 2025 it is already 49.3 billion tenge, which is 2.6 times more. The plan for housing commissioning is exceeded annually. As a result, about 1.5 million square meters of housing have been commissioned over the past three years: 251 apartment buildings and 1,809 individual houses have been built. 14,729 families have improved their housing conditions.Modern and high-quality housing is also being built in rural areas. Last year, 517.4 thousand square meters of housing were commissioned, of which 63.7 thousand square meters were in rural settlements. In total, more than 5.4 thousand families have been provided with housing. To increase housing affordability, social housing is being built and preferential mortgage loans are being provided. Over three years, 1.7 thousand social apartments have been commissioned. This work will continue.To provide housing for young people, the "Kostanai Zhastary" program is being implemented in all regions of the oblast. Over three years, about 6 billion tenge has been allocated for its financing, resulting in more than 400 young families acquiring their own housing. An additional 750 million tenge has been allocated this year.This year, it is planned to build 520 thousand square meters of housing in the oblast.According to the results of the first quarter of this year, the plan for housing commissioning exceeded 50% in the Denisovsky district (96% of the annual plan or 2.8 thousand sq. m), the Kostanay district (67.6% or 46.6 thousand sq. m), and the Kamystinsky district (50.1% or 2.1 thousand sq. m)."I gave instructions three years ago to restore vacant houses. This is also one of the opportunities to provide people with housing. Funds from the regional budget were purposefully allocated for these purposes. Over three years, 56 houses have been restored in the oblast, including 30 apartment buildings. For example, in the city of Rudny - 11 houses, in Arkalyk - 3, and 2 houses each in the Denisovsky and Kamystinsky districts," noted the head of the region."The architectural appearance of settlements also requires special attention. Requirements for architecture and landscaping must be observed everywhere - both in cities and in districts. Our task is not just to build buildings, but to create a high-quality and modern environment for residents. The result of all decisions should be the comfort and safety of people," emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.The Akim of the oblast instructed the akims of cities and districts, together with the construction department, to ensure the fulfillment of housing commissioning plans, to acquire housing in the planned volumes for socially vulnerable segments of the population, and to develop and adjust urban planning projects in a timely and high-quality manner.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1214807?lang=kk

       The Abay Region branch of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" reported on the most popular government services in the real estate sector, which residents of the region have actively used since the beginning of this year.State registration of real estate rights led the way in terms of number of requests, with approximately 20,000 services provided in the first quarter.The largest number of requests overall relate to the preparation of technical documentation for real estate, the entry of information about newly constructed buildings into the legal cadastre, and the restoration of lost documents.Second place goes to the issuance of technical passports for real estate and the conclusion on the establishment of discrepancies between identification and technical information based on the state technical inspection of a newly constructed property. Since the beginning of the year, over 1,600 such services have been provided to residents of the Abay Region.Third place went to the service for entering identification and technical information about buildings, structures, and/or their components into the legal cadastre information system for newly constructed real estate. Approximately 260 services were provided in this area.The high demand for these services is due to the active registration of new real estate properties, property rights registration, purchase and sale transactions, inheritances, and the need to restore technical documentation."Technical inspection services for real estate remain among the most popular services for the population. Timely registration of technical passports, entering accurate information into the legal cadastre, and document restoration allow citizens to avoid legal complications when disposing of property," noted Abay Murat Umirzakhov, Acting Director of the regional branch of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens."As a reminder, starting April 1, 2026, government real estate services will be provided primarily electronically through the e-government portal eGov.kz, with access to the Public Service Center (PSC) only available if online service is unavailable.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1214772?lang=kk
