2 | Board proposal parking alternative De MeentThe housing development in the center of Geldrop requires additional parking spaces. The council has therefore decided that parking lot De Meent will be used as a location to realize more parking spaces. On March 31, the council adopted frameworks for the parking solution for De Meent. Several variants were tested against these frameworks. In addition, we participated with neighbors of De Meent parking lot and downtown stakeholders. With the attached council proposal we would like to advise the council to agree to parking variant 5 (ground level parking at De Meent and Hofdael). The college decides: | |
3 | College proposal white goods regulation 2025As part of the energy poverty approach, it is proposed to implement another temporary white goods scheme in 2025, allowing low-income residents to replace their "energy-guzzling" white goods with an energy-efficient appliance. We had a similar white goods scheme in 2024, which ultimately enabled 443 low-income households to purchase a new energy-efficient white goods appliance. In 2025, we want to broaden the target group that can use this white goods scheme by also allowing applications for a broader target group with an income up to 120% of the assistance limit and assets below the asset limit in accordance with Participation Act. This white goods scheme is part of the project to reduce energy costs. The college decides: | |
4 | Designation decision on electronic channels public services municipality of Geldrop-MierloOn January 1, 2026, the Electronic Administrative Modernization Act ("WMEBV") will enter into force. This law gives everyone the right to send so-called official messages - that is, messages that are part of a procedure about a decision, complaints, or other messages prescribed by law - electronically to an administrative body. Municipal administrative bodies to which this applies in any case are the City Council, the Municipal Executive and the Mayor. These administrative bodies must therefore each, insofar as their own authority is concerned, designate the electronic channels that citizens, businesses and others must use for these official messages. The college decides: | |
5 | Advisory note repealing Building Ordinance Geldrop-Mierlo 2012With the entry into force of the Omgevingswet on 1-1-2024, Section 8 of the Housing Act will be repealed. This formed the basis for municipal building regulations. In recent years, many parts of the municipal building regulations were already deleted. The remaining rules of the building regulation were transferred before 1-1-2024 to the temporary environment plan (a.o. the Bridal Estates), the Quality of the Living Environment Decree, the Building Quality Assurance Act and the municipal Heritage Ordinance and Ordinance on the Environmental Quality Advisory Committee. The "Building Ordinance Geldrop-Mierlo 2012" can now be repealed. The college decides: | |

Through this scheme, our residents of the outlying area can construct and manage landscape elements. The province is now redesigning the old scheme in a substantially different way in the form of the Landscape Incentive Scheme 2.0.
