On January 30th, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction collaborated with the People’s Committee of Vung Tau Ward and relevant units to conduct a site survey and discuss solutions to address challenges in the operation and management of Thuy Van Park.
With an investment of over 1 trillion VND, Thuy Van Park has completed all basic construction items and meets legal requirements for operation. For months, the park has attracted numerous locals and tourists daily. However, no official unit has yet taken over its unified management and operation.
Leaders from the Department of Construction and related units survey Thuy Van Park before the meeting.
Currently, the park is temporarily managed by the Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Vung Tau Area, in collaboration with other units, using supported resources. Due to the lack of a formal operating mechanism, service quality remains inconsistent; environmental hygiene issues and littering persist; public amenities are underperforming; and unauthorized vending and vehicle entry continue to recur.
While the People’s Committee of Vung Tau Ward has proactively implemented measures to ensure public order, the absence of official management handover leaves them without the legal basis to deploy security personnel, organize regular cleaning, or manage parking, posing risks of asset damage or loss.
The park remains a popular destination for locals and tourists but lacks an official operator.
In response, the People’s Committee of Vung Tau Ward has urged the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee to direct the Department of Construction to expedite the handover of Thuy Van Park’s infrastructure assets for unified management. They also request the department to promptly develop and approve an asset management and operation plan, organizing a bidding process to select a professional operator before the Lunar New Year.
Thuy Van Park boasts an investment of over 1 trillion VND.
Mr. Vu Hong Thuan, Chairman of the Vung Tau Ward People’s Committee, noted that the current stormy season brings large waves to Bai Sau area, requiring continuous care for the park’s greenery. Without a formal handover, operations and bidding processes cannot proceed as mandated. “Immediate and long-term solutions are essential to ensure the park’s safe and efficient operation, especially during the upcoming Lunar New Year,” Mr. Thuan emphasized.
A faucet cover in the restroom is missing despite the project not yet being handed over for management.
During the meeting, Mr. Le Ngoc Linh, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, outlined three urgent tasks. First, the investor must review and complete all outstanding construction items, promptly handing over the project to the Center for Infrastructure and Traffic Management as required. The Center is tasked with developing a park management, operation, and maintenance plan, consulting relevant units, and reporting to the Department’s leadership by February 3rd.
Units convene to finalize the operation plan.
