Decree appointing Martínez Utrera as delegate in Almería corrected

The Official Gazette of the Regional Government of Andalusia (BOJA) number 160, dated August 19, 2026, publishes the correction of errors for Decree 434/2026, of July 30, which provides for the appointment of Ms. María Dolores Martínez Utrera as Territorial Delegate for Housing, Youth and Territorial Planning and for Public Works and Mobility in Almería. The correction appears in the appointments, situations, and incidents section of the gazette, under the heading of the Ministry of the Presidency, Health, and Emergencies.

The original decree was published in the extraordinary BOJA number 17, of July 31, 2026, and the present correction rectifies the errors detected in its text, guaranteeing the full validity and effectiveness of the appointment. The document appears in the summary with text number 11141 and a length of one page.

An appointment with double territorial competence

The designated delegate assumes representation for two management areas in the province of Almería, making her a key piece of the Andalusian territorial administration in the area:

• Housing, Youth and Territorial Planning, competencies linked to housing access policy, urban planning, and youth policies.
• Public Works and Mobility, which covers infrastructure, transport, and sustainable mobility in the province.

The correction of errors is a common administrative mechanism that allows for the amendment of formal or material defects in a provision without altering its substantive content, such that the appointment remains in force from the effective date of the original decree.

Regulatory framework and procedure

The appointment is framed within the exercise of the competencies of the Regional Government of Andalusia for the designation of territorial delegates, who act as representatives of the autonomous administration in each province. The correction is inserted in section 2.1. Appointments, situations, and incidents of the BOJA, within the Authorities and personnel block.

The corrected text is incorporated into the summary of number 160 of the gazette, corresponding to Wednesday, August 19, 2026, year XLVIII of the Andalusian official publication.

Relevance for the province

The figure of the territorial delegate is essential for the dialogue between the autonomous administration and the municipalities of Almería in matters as sensitive as housing, urban planning, infrastructure, and transport. With this correction, the BOJA fully regularizes the appointment of María Dolores Martínez Utrera, who will be able to exercise her functions at the head of the territorial delegation in Almería with full legal certainty.
