Snarl-ups plague land-use projects
Poor planning, improper land use and delayed construction projects in the Central Province of Binh Thuan have occurred in recent years, according to a new report.
According to the province's report, land planning has not met the requirements of the province's socio-economic development, and many construction investment projects at industrial parks and industrial clusters are running behind schedule.
Nearly 40 land projects with a total area of 2,100 ha, approved by the province's committee, do not have detailed plans.
The plan for using land and issuance of investment licenses must be modified, according to the report.
For example, changes must be made to a project of the Binh Thuan Construction Trading Ltd. Company, which has invested in a project on a 121ha-area of forest.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the province's committee have not co-operated in developing many land projects in the province, the report said.
Currently, 14 approved projects lack licenses issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, holding back construction progress.
The improper management of land uncovered by the report has led to losses of about VND79.2 billion (US$3.9 million) and $382,000.
Of that amount, errors in calculating the money of investors caused losses of VND27.7 billion ($1.3 million).
Inspectors said the mistakes were caused by poor management and lack of responsibility of several advisory departments of the standing Binh Thuan Province People's Committee. They should be held accountable and penalised under the law, the report said.
