The Walloon Region has initiated a large-scale project to digitalize environmental and single permits. The municipality of Farciennes is actively involved in this modernization effort, which seeks to simplify procedures from application submission to processing.
These permits regulate activities that may impact the environment while supporting the territory's economic development. With new digital tools, applicants will be able to submit and track their files online, benefit from faster exchanges with the administration, and have clearer follow-up on their requests. Simplified forms, pre-filled information, and automated document generation will also ease these processes.
Municipal teams are currently undergoing training on a new management tool that will enable fully digital processing of files. The transition is gradual: the first electronic applications have been introduced since 2026, and the training for Walloon municipalities continues throughout the year. Ultimately, this evolution will help reduce paper usage, facilitate exchanges, and ensure a more fluid, accessible, and sustainable public service.
