Ulsan City Automobile Industry Promotion and Support Ordinance

“Evaluation of Establishing a Foundation for Administrative and Industrial Co-Growth”

Ulsan City will receive the Special Award for Excellent Ordinances selected by the Ministry of Government Legislation.

On the 8th at 2:30 PM, the ‘Excellent Local Legislation Activities Local Government Awards Ceremony’ will be held at the Korea Advertising Culture Center in Seoul.

The term ‘Excellent Ordinance’ refers to ordinances enacted or amended by local governments and education offices over the past year until November 2023, which are exemplary cases due to their high completeness and applicability.

This year, out of 45 ordinances (9 metropolitan, 36 basic) submitted nationwide as excellent ordinances, three ordinances from three metropolitan local governments, including Ulsan City, were selected through an online survey and expert review.

In the basic local government category, seven ordinances from seven local governments, including Jeonnam, were selected.

The ‘Ulsan City Ordinance on the Promotion and Support of the Automobile Industry,’ selected as the 2023 Excellent Ordinance Special Award, was promulgated and enforced in December 2022.

This ordinance was evaluated as laying the foundation for the co-growth of administration and industry by including support measures necessary for fostering the automobile industry and creating a business-friendly environment, administrative, financial, and technical support for designating advanced investment zones, improvements to unreasonable permits and approvals to activate investment by companies establishing or expanding automobile-related factories, maintenance and modification of roads and rivers, and dispatch of public officials.

Based on the public official dispatch clause of the ‘Ulsan City Ordinance on the Promotion and Support of the Automobile Industry,’ Ulsan City established the Hyundai Motor Support Team and dispatched dedicated public officials, providing unprecedented administrative support that shortened the total approval period for the large-scale Hyundai Motor electric vehicle factory, which normally takes more than three years, to 10 months.

An official from Ulsan City stated, “We will continue to prepare necessary local regulations for citizens and businesses to resolve inconveniences and contribute to welfare improvement, and we will also strive to improve the quality of local regulations.”
