Lands Authority CEO Carlo Mifsud has resigned from his post, and will be taking up another position within the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects.
The ministry said on Friday that he would be coordinating the setting up of a new authority under its remit.
This new authority will regulate the construction industry with the aim of having one regulator which holds within it the functions currently held by the BICC (Building Industry Consultative Council), the BRO (Building Regulations Office), BRB (Building Regulations Board) and the Masons Board.
Peter Mamo, currently the deputy CEO, will be appointed to serve as acting chief executive officer for the Lands Authority.
