Chungju industrial site remains under land-sale permit rules through 2029
South Chungcheong Province renewed land-sale controls for parts of Bonni and Wanori in Chungju, South Korea.
The rules cover 2.24 square kilometres planned for the Chungju Biohealth National Industrial Complex.
They are intended to curb property speculation and uncontrolled development while the project moves forward.
Until October 16, 2029, buyers must get the Chungju mayor’s approval for land deals above set size limits, which vary by land-use zone.
Violations can lead to enforcement charges under the law on real estate transaction reporting.
The complex, approved in 2023, is expected to cost about 800 billion won; construction is targeted to begin in 2027 after compensation and cultural heritage surveys.
The province plans continued monitoring of land transactions to deter speculative deals.
