Changes in the stateu0026#x27;s responsibilities regarding planning and permitting matters
At the beginning of 2026, the official duties of the ELY Centres were transferred to ten regional vitality centres, the national Licensing and Supervisory Authority, and the Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. The ELY Centres ceased operations on 31 December 2025.
The aim of the reform is to streamline licensing procedures and strengthen the vitality of the regions.
The tasks previously handled by ELY Centres in matters relating to planning and permits under the Land Use and Building Act will be redistributed in the future. The key authority will be the Permit and Supervisory Authority. Transport matters and some water matters, among other things, will be transferred to regional vitality centres.
We will update the official information in accordance with the new division of responsibilities in the ongoing participation and assessment plans and other documents related to the Tuusula municipal plans as the planning work progresses.
