Dong Nai builds over 2,300 resettlement plots in Tam Phuoc and Phuoc Tan wards

According to the Dong Nai City Land Fund Development Centre, residents whose residential land is subject to acquisition in An Phuoc commune and Tam Phuoc ward will be considered for resettlement under approved plans. The city is currently developing two resettlement areas in Tam Phuoc and Phuoc Tan wards, comprising a total of 2,346 plots.

The resettlement area in Tam Phuoc ward covers nearly 35 hectares and comprises 1,280 plots. By late October 2026, infrastructure construction at the site was approximately 54% complete.

The resettlement area in Phuoc Tan ward, bordering Tam Phuoc ward, covers over 49 hectares and comprises 1,066 plots. By late October 2026, construction at the site was approximately 30% complete. The project is scheduled for completion in August 2027.

Both resettlement areas have moved beyond the planning stage: their sites have been prepared and construction is underway.

Both projects will be funded by the city budget and equipped with essential infrastructure, including internal roads, water supply and drainage systems, street lighting, telecommunications networks and green spaces. They will also feature social amenities such as schools, parks, playgrounds and community centres.

Under the 2024 Land Law, households and individuals whose residential land is acquired, who must relocate and who meet the prescribed legal requirements will be considered for resettlement through the allocation of residential land or housing. If compensation for their residential land is lower than the value of a minimum resettlement allocation, the State will provide support to cover the difference in accordance with the law.

For households with several generations or multiple married couples living together on a single plot of land subject to acquisition, those meeting the prescribed legal requirements may be considered for the allocation of additional residential land for resettlement, subject to land-use fees, or the purchase or rental of housing.

The city is working on plans for an area spanning An Phuoc commune and Tam Phuoc ward to capitalise on the advantages offered by the Dong Nai River and Long Thanh International Airport.

Nguyen Thi Cat Tien, Vice Chairwoman of the City People’s Committee, said the city remained committed to ensuring that land acquisition, compensation, support and resettlement were carried out in strict accordance with the law, while protecting residents’ legitimate rights and interests. The city’s guiding principle is that resettlement areas must provide infrastructure and transport links that are at least as good as, if not better than, those in residents’ former neighbourhoods.

In addition to investing in the construction of resettlement areas on an urban scale, the city is also implementing social housing projects, giving priority to residents whose land has been acquired but who do not qualify for resettlement, allowing them to purchase or rent housing.
