In early July 2023, the Provincial People's Council held the 14th Session of the 18th Provincial People's Council, term 2021 - 2026. At the discussion session of Group 1 on July 5 with the participation of Provincial Party Secretary, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Thai Thanh Quy, the problem of suspended projects, slow-progressing projects in Cua Lo town and the current situation of the Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports, Entertainment Project were again mentioned by the Provincial People's Council delegates, recommending competent authorities to consider and handle it thoroughly.
Specifically, Provincial People's Council delegate Tran Phan Long - Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Organizing Committee of Cua Lo Town Party Committee said: "The province is requested to pay attention to recovering slow-progressing projects in the town. The handling of slow-progressing projects in the town has been proposed many times, through many channels, because there are many projects in the area that have been affecting the development of Cua Lo town for many years". To help delegates attending the discussion clarify this situation, delegate Tran Phan Long named 3 projects, which he said were the most interesting, including: Cua Lo Beach Golf Project; Lan Chau North Island Resort Project, and Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports, and Entertainment Project.
Regarding the Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports, and Entertainment Project, delegate Tran Phan Long reflected: “For this project, the progress stated in the investment certificate is to be completed and put into operation in 2020. However, up to now, only a few items have been completed, many items have not been implemented. During the implementation process, there were many violations, destroying the natural beauty of the landscape, and concreting has ruined the landscape. This project has also been inspected and reminded many times by the authorities…”. Then recommend: “Request the Provincial People's Committee to pay attention to adjusting the planning, removing some items such as Bungalow around the rock beach of Lan Chau island; request the investor to hand over part of the area including the access road, marina, square and parking lot to the South and the water surface to the East of Lan Chau island to integrate with the overall planning of the Forest Park Area to the East of Binh Minh Street. Request the provincial departments and branches to pay attention, support, coordinate with the People's Committee of Cua Lo town, urge the investor to complete the unimplemented items and adjust, dismantle the construction items that are not in accordance with the planning...”.
After the discussion, delegate Tran Phan Long said that his opinion was listened to with interest by the delegates attending the discussion; and was immediately answered by the responsible person, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Pham Hong Quang. “According to Director Pham Hong Quang, the investor of the Cua Lo Beach Golf Project has committed that after the planning of the Western Forest Park Area of Binh Minh Street is approved, they will implement it according to the planning. As for the Lan Chau North Island Resort Project and the Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports, and Entertainment Project, the province is putting them on the list of slow-progressing projects to direct inspection and review…” – delegate Tran Phan Long said.
Recently, the shortcomings and violations in the Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex Project, resort villas, sports, entertainment were reflected by Nghe An Newspaper in the articles "Do not concretize Lan Chau pearl island" (June 25); "Lan Chau island is concretized: Warnings have been given!"

In these articles, Nghe An Newspaper conveyed the information that the People's Committee of Cua Lo town planned to organize an inspection to clarify the shortcomings and violations in this project.
Specifically, the People's Committee of Cua Lo town proposed that the Provincial People's Committee consider and adjust the planning in the direction of eliminating the resort Bungalow items (11 units) around the rocky beach of Lan Chau island; request the investor to hand over part of the area including the access road, marina, square and parking lot in the South, the water surface in the South of Lan Chau island to integrate with the overall planning of the park on the East side of Binh Minh street; request the provincial departments, branches and sectors to support and coordinate with the People's Committee of Cua Lo town in urging and requesting the investor to complete the items that have not been implemented and adjust and dismantle the items built in violation of the planning!

The Inspection Team will follow the detailed planning approved by the competent authority to inspect, any construction items that violate the law will be handled in accordance with the law; construction items that ensure the planning but lack aesthetics will also require the investor to repair... To ensure the quality of the inspection, before the Team performs the task, the People's Committee of the town also directed that a detailed plan and outline must be made...".
According to Hoang Nang Hiep, Head of the Urban Management Department of the People's Committee of Cua Lo Town, immediately after the People's Committee of the town issued the Decision to establish an Inspection Team, the Urban Management Department developed a plan and outline for a comprehensive inspection of the Lan Chau - Song Ngu Eco-tourism Complex, Resort Villas, Sports and Entertainment Project.
