Which proposals are open for feedback
Saudi Press Agency reported on 19 October 2026 that the Istitlaa platform had opened 41 economic and development projects from 22 government entities for feedback. Two have broad relevance to residents, motorists, venues and event businesses.
The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing project concerns paid-parking regulations and is open through 12 November. The General Entertainment Authority project concerns draft fees for issuing, renewing, amending, suspending and canceling entertainment licences, permits and accreditation certificates, as well as fees connected with ticket sales; its feedback window runs through 14 November.
Why the word “draft” matters
Istitlaa enables the public and stakeholders to comment before approval. A consultation document may be revised, delayed or handled differently in the final instrument. Readers should not change a contract, pricing model or parking policy solely because a draft has appeared.
The defensible statement is that the proposals are open for consultation on the verified date. Claims about the final fee, enforcement date, covered locations or exemptions require the approved text from the responsible authority.
How to prepare useful feedback
Open the exact project on Istitlaa and read the draft, explanatory material and displayed closing date. Identify the article or fee item being discussed. A short comment tied to operational evidence is more useful than a general objection with no reference to the text.
Businesses can explain measurable implementation costs, systems changes or conflicts with an existing requirement. Residents can describe accessibility, payment, signage, consumer or neighborhood impacts. Do not include unnecessary identity documents, customer records or confidential commercial data in a public-submission field.

Use Istitlaa and check the responsible entity, version and closing date.

What to watch after consultation closes
Monitor the responsible ministry or authority for an approved regulation, decision, implementation date and transition provisions. A final text may differ from the consultation copy, so archived screenshots should not be used as permanent compliance guidance.
