Daejeon City "Logistics Complex Development Permits Shortened from Maximum 4 Years to 6 Months"

Daejeon City will simplify the logistics complex development procedures and significantly shorten the permit approval period.

On the 12th, Daejeon City announced that it will enact and implement the "Daejeon City Logistics Complex Development and Activation Support Ordinance" containing these details.

According to the ordinance, companies will no longer need to visit institutions in the fields of urban planning, environment, construction, and transportation directly for logistics complex development. Instead, they will be able to receive related services in a one-stop manner at the "Logistics Complex Development Support Center" to be established in Daejeon City.

Additionally, Daejeon City will form the "Logistics Complex Planning Deliberation Committee" to allow companies to receive integrated reviews for logistics complex plan approval and urban planning.

As a result, companies can reduce the permit approval period for logistics complexes, which previously took an average of 2 to 4 years, to around 6 months through simplified procedures.

Previously, to develop a logistics complex, companies had to establish a development plan, designate the area, and undergo reviews by related committees on urban, transportation, environment, and disaster matters, followed by separate implementation plan permits.

However, according to Daejeon City, the ordinance simplifies these procedures, enabling a reduction in the permit approval period.

Earlier, the "4th Daejeon City Logistics Basic Plan" established in May last year identified the need for new logistics complexes within the region due to increased cargo volume.

Accordingly, Daejeon City plans to first consult with Daejeon Urban Corporation, which has experience in logistics complex development, to find suitable sites and review the promotion of new logistics complexes.

Ko Hyun-deok, Director of the Transportation and Construction Bureau of Daejeon City, said, "Daejeon is located at the center of the country, offering excellent accessibility and favorable conditions for establishing parcel delivery terminals, etc. However, it is true that there have been difficulties in actually developing logistics complexes due to a shortage of logistics facility land."

He added, "The ordinance was enacted to activate the development and supply of logistics complexes and to establish a foundation for strengthening the competitiveness of existing logistics complexes. Through this, logistics facility land will be supplied smoothly, and ultimately, we will strive to enable Daejeon to leap forward as the largest logistics hub in the central region."
