As for the expansion of the Da Nang Hi-Tech Park, following appraisal of the project budget estimates by the municipal Department of Finance, the DHPIZA has submitted a report to the municipal People's Committee for approval on the outline and cost estimate for project formulation.

In particular, DHPIZA has already proposed the municipal People's Committee to halt the relocation of the Da Nang Industrial Park (IP), also known as the An Don IP based in Son Tra District and make payment to consulting units according to the performed work volume.

In 2017, the Vietnamese Prime Minister has given the go-ahead to the conversion of current industrial land at the Da Nang IP into urban land. However, according to the provisions of the national laws on Planning and Construction, the planning for Da Nang IP should be consistent with the Da Nang Master Plan for the city’s major developements by 2030, with a vision towards 2045 approved by the Prime Minister.

Currently, the entire technical infrastructure system, including transportation, electricity and water supply, wastewater treatment in the Da Nang IP is the property under the management of Massda Land Co., Ltd. - the investor of the Da Nang IP. Therefore, the planning of technical infrastructure to match the new plan may take a long time to implement.
