85,000 square metres of land of Asian Pearl Resort project in Danang City will be withdrawn



Danang Chairman Huynh Duc Tho has given approval to the detailed planning for a public park and beach in Khue My Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District. 71,806 square metres will be converted into a public park with a large square, playing ground for the children, parking lot and venues for various events. The 13,194-square-metre beach will be opened for public.

In mid-2018, Danang authorities had already held many meetings about coastal lands being hoarded for stagnant resort projects and roads to the beach being blocked from the public.

After it was announced that the city authorities will revise the urban planning, the investors of Asian Pearl Resort Project explained that the project was behind schedule because of various adjustments to the city's planning since 2014.

In last December, Danang authorities agreed to keep the project's planning and asked related agencies to open a 10-metre wide route between the Asian Pearl and Silver Shores projects to the beach for the public. On March 1, Danang People's Committee said they were considering withdrawing part of the Asian Pearl Project.

To Van Hung, head of the urbanisation committee of the Danang People's Council said investors would surely be affected by public parks and routes to the beach but it would bring great benefits to the community so everything must be carried out in accordance with procedures and regulations.

In July, Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, chairman of Danang People's Committee, said they were reviewing the coastal projects, especially the stagnant projects as lax management might lead to unbalanced eco-system and more severe climate change. The city is also recalling 11 projects and turning them into public parks and beaches.

Statistics from Danang People's Council show that there are 37 hotel and resort projects along Hoang Sa and Vo Nguyen streets. 19 projects have been completed and gone into operation, five others are under construction and 13 projects are behind schedule and haven't started yet on Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa streets.
