HA NOI(Biz Hub) — The southern province of Dong Nai plans to build a centralised administration centre in the city of Bien Hoa, worth VND2.2 trillion (US$104.6 million).

The centre will be built over an area of 10-20 hectares in Tam Phuoc Commune and will include a 15-storey building and other administrative service areas, according to a decision made at a provincial meeting for the project on March 13.

The project will be completed in five separate phases between 2013 and 2025.

This model of a dedicated administration centre has been implemented in a number of cities and provinces, including Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Duong. This will help improve the administration of the province and will benefit local residents and businesses.

In February, the southern province of Binh Duong also started operating a centralised administration centre. It had twin towers that were 104 metres high, featuring 21 storeys for offices and two for parking and a heliport on the roof. The 104,000 square metre centre will house the offices of most local agencies, including the province's Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee and most departments and sectors in the province. —VNS
