The Land Expropriation Review Committee of Ministry of the Interior convened the 243rd meeting on June 8, 2022 to discuss "The Land Expropriation of Kaohsiung Cheng Chung Cheng and the Old Campus of Qixian Junior High School" and approved it on July 6, 2022. The Land Administration Bureau stated that it would prepare all the necessary documents to notify land owners after the plan has been approved and proceed with the land expropriation in mid-July in accordance with the procedures. The notice would be published for 30 days. A total of 15,080m² cross-district land will be expropriated by the Government, including the 2,756m² block of Cheng Chung Cheng and the 12,324m² old campus of Qixian Junior High School (east wing). The block of Cheng Chung Cheng will be renovated to be a park and the old campus of Qixian Junior High School (east wing) will be rebuilt to be a social housing and compensation land.
The land owners can choose to be fully compensated by cash or land or partially by cash and partially by land in the period of publication. Regarding the land for compensation, the Land Development Office of the Land Administration Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government will deal with the applications during the publication period. The land owners shall prepare the application for land compensation and related documents and deliver the application to the counter or by registered mail. For those who do not apply for land compensation, the compensation will be released 15 days after the publication period and the matter of building reliefs will be handled by that time as well. After land expropriation is completed, the allocation plan begins. The land will be transferred by the end of the publication period of the allocation notice.
After the expropriation notice is published, the construction works in the zones shall be completed with speed. The deconstruction of the old Cheng Chung Cheng buildings was completed on May 20, 2022 and the construction of the new park in Yancheng District begins. The environmental regeneration of the Fubei Village infuses refreshing elements to Yancheng District and creates a quality green environment. The demolition of the old Qixian Junior High School was completed on May 18, 2022 and the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center plans to build the social housing of 600 households, named "Qixian An Ju" with designs appropriate for open space through urban planning. 1,500 ping of social welfare facilities and 1,000 ping of co-working space for the young are also designed to provide quality and complete social welfare services for residents nearby in order to build an inclusive social housing community.
The organizations of the City Government connect and cooperate in the most efficient manner to handle social relief, urban planning changes, demolition of dangerous buildings and facilitation of land expropriation after the Cheng Chung Cheng building blaze. We expect to integrate public safety systems of old communities in the nearest future to provide a refreshing, safe and quality living environment to the citizens.
