The Zaporizhzhia Oblast Council approved changes to the Perspective Plan for the formation of hromadas of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast covering 100% of the oblast's territory.

The adjusted Perspective Plan envisages formation of 76 capable hromadas (67 without cities of oblast significance are to be changed) in the Oblast.  

This year eight AHs have been formed not according to the Perspective Plan, and namely: the Myrnenska, Novoukrayinska, Rozdolska, Oleksandrivska, Stepanivska Persha, Andrivska, Lyubytska, Malynivska AHs. Without changes to the Perspective Plan, these hromadas would not have had an opportunity to receive a state-guaranteed preference.

Additionally, the neighbouring hromadas expressed their desire and initiated accession to the Pavlivska and Vozdvyzhivska amalgamated hromadas and Berdyansk, city of the oblast significance. Such an initiative also required changes to the Perspective Plan.

In the updated Perspective Plan, the cities of oblast significance of Zaporizhzhia, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Tokmak and Enerhodar are also included in the list of capable hromadas of the oblast.

In the nearest future, the Oblast State Administration will send the relevant documents for approval to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

It is worth mentioning that in the Zaporizhzhya Oblast there are already 51 amalgamated hromadas, of which 8 are waiting for the appointment of the first elections.
