The Ho Chi Minh City People's Council assigned the Municipal People's Committee to complete and submit documents and projects to competent authorities for review and decision on the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units in the city according to regulations.
In cases of content changes from competent authorities compared to the plan approved by the HCMC People's Council in this resolution, the HCMC People's Committee must report to the HCMC People's Council.
Previously, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee had submitted a proposal for issuing a resolution of the HCMC People's Council regarding the plan for rearrangement of commune-level administrative units in the period 2023-2030.
Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City will rearrange and merge 80 wards. After the reorganization, the number of wards in the city reduces by 39.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the rearrangement will facilitate economic, cultural and social development, enhancing the material and spiritual lives of residents as well as reducing significantly costs related to salaries, allowances, construction and repair for agency headquarters and units in the reorganized areas.
