Gia Lai aims for standard wastewater treatment in all industrial clusters by 2030

Gia Lai province has set a target to ensure that wastewater from 100% of its industrial clusters meets environmental standards by 2030. Currently, 36 active industrial clusters in the province lack centralized wastewater collection and treatment systems, creating an urgent need for infrastructure investment and stricter environmental controls.

To address these gaps, the province plans to allocate budget for treatment systems in 28 clusters managed by commune-level People's Committees, while also mobilizing social resources to reduce the burden on the state budget. For clusters managed by private enterprises, the province is urging investors to construct centralized treatment facilities. New industrial clusters will be required to have complete environmental protection infrastructure before commencing operations.

The push for improved infrastructure comes as industrial activity expands. As of August 2026, the province's industrial clusters attracted two new investment projects, bringing the total to 20 projects with a registered capital of 1,266 billion VND using 61 hectares of land. Authorities warn that if environmental infrastructure does not keep pace with production growth, the risk of pollution affecting local life and the environment will increase.
