Arbitrarily changing land use purpose to production and business
According to Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc, enterprises located in an area of about 72 hectares have been identified as violating the law on land, construction, and investment in Inspection Conclusion No. 2804/KL-UBND of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
According to the inspection conclusion, the forest land area, planned to be Phuoc Tan Industrial Cluster, in Phuoc Tan Ward, Bien Hoa City, has 41 cases of land users arbitrarily converting the purpose of use from agricultural land to production and business, which is a violation of the law. In the above area, there are dozens of cases of illegal construction of large-scale industrial works and factories on land.
The inspection conclusion also clearly shows the responsibilities of relevant State management units, such as: Not promptly detecting and handling violations against organizations and individuals in the fields of land, environment, construction, registration of business, investment, use of electricity, fire prevention and fighting, tax declaration and payment; not promptly reporting to the Provincial People's Committee on measures to direct, rectify, and strictly handle violations according to regulations.
From 2022 to now, only 8 businesses have relocated
However, on May 29, the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee issued the conclusion of Deputy Secretary of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee Thai Bao on handling a number of land-related cases in the province. Of which, for the 72ha area in Phuoc Tan ward, Bien Hoa city, implementing the direction of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee from 2022 to present, only 8/48 enterprises have relocated from the 72ha area (the number of enterprises relocated is mainly due to enterprises stopping production and self- relocation). Bien Hoa City People's Committee has not focused on directing the implementation of relocation measures for businesses in the area. Therefore, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee assigned the Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee and the Bien Hoa City Party Committee to direct the urgent relocation of enterprises and production facilities from the 72ha land in Phuoc Tan ward, Bien Hoa city to be completed in 2025.

In case the enterprise does not comply, Bien Hoa City People's Committee will review administrative violation records, organize enforcement... to ensure the completion of relocation of enterprises before December 31, 2025.
Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee held a meeting to listen to the progress report on handling land-related cases. In addition to handling the 72ha area of Phuoc Tan ward, for the Vuon Xoai Eco-tourism Project, the implementation of the directives of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee from 2023 to present is still very slow. The Dong Nai riverside landscape renovation project notes the form of land allocation for project implementation and handling issues related to project investors; Son Tien Urban Area Project assigned the Bien Hoa City Party Committee to direct the People's Committee of the city and An Hoa ward to strengthen State management of construction order at the project, not allowing violations of land and construction, cases of detecting violations must be prevented from the beginning and resolutely handled in accordance with legal regulations.
