Building Permits and Environment
In the Building Permits and Environment department, we share responsibility for managing the region's building permit cases and work together for the environment on Gotland.
We have recently implemented an organizational restructuring to develop and strengthen our operations. The Building Permits and Environment department has been established, and our activities have transitioned from being a separate department to now being merged with Region Gotland's environmental and food safety supervision. Within Planning and Building Permits operations, two units handle building permit cases, and one unit is responsible for inspection and supervision.
Through the new organization, we have created better conditions for close leadership, strengthened management capability, and enabled better collaboration between operations and units. The restructuring also aims to ensure a good work environment for both employees and managers and create increased opportunities to achieve our set goals.
Would you like to be part of continuing to develop our operations together with us? Welcome!
