Changwon Special City to Implement Aged Apartment Management Support Project Next Year

Promotion of Community-Based Projects through Cost Support for Maintenance and Repair of Public Facilities

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced on the 7th that it will promote the ‘2025 Apartment Management Support Project’ to create a pleasant and safe residential environment for residents living in apartment complexes.

Park Hyun-ho, Director of Urban Policy, is giving a briefing.

The Apartment Management Support Project is a program that supports part of the maintenance and repair costs for common facilities such as roads, parking lots, water and sewage systems, playgrounds, retaining walls, and rooftops within aging apartment complexes in the jurisdiction. This year, 1 billion KRW was provided to 61 complexes, receiving great response from residents.

Additionally, as a demand-oriented, life-centered project of Changwon City, it aims to alleviate the economic burden on residents and ensure safe housing for citizens. In 2025, with a budget of 900 million KRW, the city plans to continue actively promoting residential environment improvement projects for aging apartment complexes.

In particular, next year’s project will newly support the relocation of underground electric vehicle charging facilities to aboveground in apartment complexes to ease citizens’ concerns about the recent series of electric vehicle fires.

The support targets are apartment complexes constructed under the ‘Housing Act’ and the ‘Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Act’ within the jurisdiction, as well as small-scale apartment complexes that have obtained building permits under the ‘Building Act’ and have been in use for more than 10 years. Support amounts range from 20 million KRW to 40 million KRW depending on the number of households for apartment complexes, up to 20 million KRW for small-scale apartment complexes, and up to 5 million KRW for community activation contest projects.

Apartment complexes wishing to receive support can apply in person or by mail at the Building Permit Division of the district office with jurisdiction over the address from December 2 to 31. In February next year, the Apartment Management Support Deliberation Committee will review applications and make the final decision on subsidy recipients and amounts.

For detailed information such as support criteria and required documents, check the city’s website notice board around mid-November or contact the Building Permit Division of each district office or the Housing Policy Division of the City Hall.

Park Hyun-ho, Director of the Urban Policy Bureau, stated, “Since the project’s implementation, we have supported 1695 complexes with 24.2 billion KRW. This project has a high satisfaction rate among apartment residents, and we will do our best to ensure the smooth promotion of the management support project that creates a pleasant residential environment for citizens.”
