The Urban Affairs Committee of the Da Nang People's Council held a thematic supervision session in Phú Thuận commune on the afternoon of October 21, Báo Đà Nẵng reported, looking at how minerals used for common construction materials are planned, extracted and managed.
Members visited four sites: the ĐL2 sand mine in Giảng Hòa hamlet, which won its extraction rights at auction in June 2025 and received an exploration licence in April 2026 and is still completing procedures; a licensed stone quarry in Thạnh Trung hamlet (2.33 hectares, 5,800 cubic metres a year); and licensed clay mines in Nam Phước and Trà Đức hamlets.
The commune's main complaint was paperwork. Since the two-tier local government model took effect, it said, it has not been fully handed the legal records for the mines, boundary files or earlier inspection documents. Without them, officials say it is hard to verify boundaries, capacity, output, remaining reserves and each project's environmental duties. The commune monitors roads with five cameras and one drone.
It asked the relevant agencies to hand over the full records quickly and to guide mine owners through remaining procedures. The committee will review the issues and propose solutions; the report gives no ruling.
Why it matters: local oversight depends on those files. Still unknown: when records will be handed over.
