The People's Committee of the southern province of Dong Nai has announced two significant decisions regarding urban and industrial planning in Bien Hoa City.

The Hiep Hoa urban area is set to become a modern, culturally rich urban hub in harmony with its natural surroundings, while the planning of the Agtex Long Binh Industrial Park has been revised to enhance infrastructure for industrial development.

According to the decision, the Hiep Hoa urban area spans approximately 293 ha and is designed to accommodate a population of about 31,600 people.

This low-density, modern urban and service complex aims to integrate sustainable tourism with diverse housing options, commercial services, and public amenities, all while maintaining a well-structured layout in harmony with nature.

The Agtex Long Binh Industrial Park is situated in the center of Bien Hoa City,  about 3.5 km from the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway and 20 km from Long Thanh Airport. Covering a planning area of approximately 133.85 ha, the industrial park's detailed planning has been updated to a scale of 1/500 .

The People's Committee explained that the planning ratio adjustment was necessary as the Agtex Long Binh Industrial Park had originally been approved in 2007 at a 1/2000 scale, in line with the Construction Law of 2003.

However, the Construction Law of 2014 and Circular No. 04/2022/TT-BXD, issued by the Ministry of Construction on October 24, 2022, mandate that detailed construction planning for functional areas such as industrial parks must now adhere to a 1/500 scale.
