The site for the new government office building that will open the future of Suseong-gu, Daegu, has been finally decided as the ‘Beomeo Park site’ in front of Daegu Children’s World.


On the 20th, the Suseong-gu New Government Office Public Deliberation Committee held a meeting to evaluate four candidate sites, and ‘Beomeo Park,’ which received the highest score, was finally confirmed as the site for the new government office building.

The Public Deliberation Committee (Chairman Jeon Gyeong-tae) was launched last August to enable democratic decision-making through resident participation and deliberation. It consists of a total of 40 members, including experts in urban planning, architecture, finance, law, and resident representatives.


To decide the policy direction for the construction of the Suseong-gu new government office, they set Beomeo Park, the current government office site, the former site of the court and prosecutor’s office, and Yeonho GB as candidate sites, and carried out various activities such as appropriateness reviews, expert discussions and opinion hearings, and resident surveys.


Beomeo Park received high marks for accessibility, being adjacent to Children’s World Station on Metro Line 3. It showed strong competitiveness in terms of project feasibility using public land, centrality according to the living area, and expandability linked with Beomeo Park.


With this decision, the Suseong-gu new government office construction project is expected to get on track. Suseong-gu plans to complete the new government office building in 2029 after feasibility studies, investment reviews, international design competitions, and detailed design phases.


Chairman Jeon Gyeong-tae said, “This is the moment to take the first step toward the next 100 years of Suseong-gu’s future. We did our best to ensure the public deliberation process was transparent and fair, and we ask for the interest and support of residents for the full-scale construction of the new government office.”


Kim Dae-kwon, Mayor of Suseong-gu, Daegu, said, “I think it is very meaningful to decide the region’s future together with the residents. We will strive to make the Suseong-gu new government office a city landmark where history and the future coexist.”



The Suseong-gu government office building, completed in 1978, currently suffers from a lack of space, with seven departments and about 140 public officials working in leased external buildings, causing resident inconvenience due to space shortages and chronic parking problems.
