Busan Gijang-gun, Gijang-eup Administrative Welfare Center New Building Construction in Full Swing

Busan's Gijang-gun is set to actively promote the construction project of the ‘Gijang-eup Administrative Welfare Center New Building,’ a long-awaited project for the residents of Gijang-eup.

The ‘Gijang-eup Administrative Welfare Center’ is the oldest government office building among the five eup and myeon in the district (completed in 1986). Due to the aging of the civil service space and lack of parking, residents have experienced increasing inconvenience.

Accordingly, the county is advancing the new building project by combining the existing office site with the nearby 119 Safety Center site, planning a total floor area of 5,957.47㎡, with one basement floor and two above-ground floors, and parking for 100 vehicles.

After a design competition held in August last year, detailed design services have been underway since October, with two residents’ briefings held in September this year and a mid-term report meeting in November.

Going forward, the project will undergo administrative procedures such as design cost-effectiveness review, construction technology evaluation, and various preliminary certifications. The detailed design is scheduled to be completed by September next year, with construction starting in December and completion expected by December 2026.

The new building will feature a park-like outdoor space on the first and second floors, providing a place for local residents to relax and heal. It is also expected to serve as a space for community communication and harmony, as it can be used for outdoor events such as flea markets.

Additionally, with an eco-friendly design, the building will minimize future maintenance and management costs, while responding to increasing administrative demands by providing high-quality administrative services.

County Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “We will collect and actively reflect residents’ opinions at every stage of the project to satisfy diverse administrative and welfare needs and provide a space for residents to communicate.”
