FROM THE COMMUNITY DESK

Al Furjan is buzzing with exciting updates. Safety got a boost with centre median fencing, signages and speed humps, while overall traffic flow and pedestrian safety was refreshed with road markings, 40 stainless-steel and semiautomatic bollards and new crossings.

Residents now have even more ways to stay active with the completion of our versatile sports facility, featuring tennis, basketball and netball courts. We’ve also added 45 benches across key spots for extra comfort and convenience. This summer, our “Beat the Heat” campaign supported the community workforce with sustainable water bottles and ORS supplies, keeping everyone refreshed and safe.

Sustainability and community spirit are at the heart of our initiatives, from launching a food waste collection drive to creating an organic farm space. Together, these efforts are helping Al Furjan grow into an even safer, greener and more vibrant place to live.

ECO WINS

Bin There, Sorted That

Sustainability just got stylish. We’ve installed 20 brand-new three-stream bins designed for smarter waste separation.

Built to withstand weather, oils, acids and even seawater, these durable, non-splintering bins make it easier than ever for residents to do their part in keeping our community clean and eco-friendly.

A Green Glow Up

Al Furjan’s green spaces just got a vibrant refresh! Over 120,000 sqm of landscaping has been trimmed, pruned and cleaned, along with a full revival of planter beds across the community.

Adding to this, 200 sqm of moss roses have been replanted, bringing cheerful pops of colour that keep our outdoor spaces healthy, inviting and full of life all year round.

Food Scraps To Helpful Hacks

Sustainability starts at home and the choices we make every day can add up to a huge difference for our planet.

Here are some simple, creative ways to repurpose your food scraps at home so they stay out of the bin and are put to better use.

Banana peels to supercharged fertilizer.

Chop and bury them in your plants or blend with water. Your garden is going to have a spa day with the ‘aunaturel’ nutrients.

Morning Brew Fun Fact

Did you know that one cup of coffee creates about 0.45 kg of CO₂?

Close to the footprint you’d leave if you were driving your car for 2kms. Sipping from a carton cup? That carbon adds up even more.

Easy swaps can help shrink your footprint:

Bring your own reusable cup

Ditch single-use sugar packets and creamers

Leftover Orange Peels?

These are not just scraps, once dried and powdered, they are your new all-natural dyes for painting, fabric or even adding a colourful twist to your food.

Don’t toss those watermelon rinds just yet.

Chop them up, mix with water and voilà! A nutrient-packed juice is ready to give your garden soil a tasty boost.

Choose organic or local beans

Swap plastic stirrers for wooden or metal spoons

Small changes, big impact. Make every sip kinder to our planet. Click

HOME & HEART

One of the joys of community living is finding friendships right outside your doorstep.

This feature celebrates neighbours who become companions, cheerleaders, and even extended family, making our communities feel like home.

This month, we share the story of how a walk through the community blossomed into a beautiful bond between two families, reminding us that the best part of home is often the friends next door.

When we moved to this community a year ago, I met Mamta outside her home and a friendly chat quickly turned into a tour of her house and backyard. We soon discovered many coincidences.

Our children went to the same school and both our mothers lived with us. Naturally, the kids became friends and so did our moms. What began as a neighbourly hello has grown into a bond that feels like family.

We carpool, always check in on each other and whenever one of us cooks something special, a portion always finds its way to the other’s home. Moving into a new community can feel overwhelming, but connections like these make it feel like home.

In the words of Pooja Agarwal, Murooj Al Furjan

FROM THE REGULATOR’S DESK

Property Damages From External Factors, What You Need To Know

Spot a leak/damage inside your home and aren’t sure where it’s coming from?

Here’s how you can get this addressed with the help of Dubai Holding Community Management’s intervention.

As per RERA’s Circular 12 of 2023

THE FIRST STEP

Homeowners can submit their request via the Mollak Services Gateway to initiate the process.

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

Upon notifying DHCM, a neutral RERAapproved inspection company will assess the damage. An inspection report will identify the cause, responsible party, suggested solutions and estimated repair costs.

THE ROOT LIES AT HOME

Upon inspection, if the homeowner is responsible for repairs, costs must be borne by the owner and DHCM may be authorised to carry out repairs.

WHO’S TO BLAME?

Homeowner will be notified about access for inspection. If denied, RERA may issue a warning and further escalate to the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre. In this case, the homeowner must cover all repair costs.
