Golf course defy ban

Built next to the Stone Forest Golf
The named International Golf and country club. Large areas of lawn
trimmed neatly. Artificial lakes of varying size and obstacles to the
Crystal clarityof courtyards in the Sandpit at the stadium. Watching
from a distance, will see the stadium under the hills in the several
peaks, and wrote down the momentum of this all shows the stadium.
It is understood that this golf course is developed by a flexible
investment company in Yunnan province, due to the adjacent to the stone
forest world heritage protected area, so the Club also use this as the
biggest selling point of publicity. On the stone forest international
country Club brochure is so described: this golf course is the only 54
holes of karst of the stadium. Golf course occupies an area of more
than 10,000 acres, with three 18 hole international standard golf
course. It is understood that this golf course is a 2008 Shilin tourist
resort attracting project service area management committee. The entire
project investment amounting to $ 850 million, started in 2008.
Unlawful use of land come from
Reporters in Shilin County land Bureau understands that surrounded the
project probably thousands of acres of land area. How did such a large
area of land in the hands of the developers of? Reporters found
responsible for the stone forest tourist facilities, and project
development and construction work of the service area of stone forest
tourism area management committee. The golf course project developer
expropriation of land is up to them to help.
Shilin tourist resort, said Gao Yun-hua, Deputy Director of the CMC,
which is rented by them with the collective and the farmers of the
village. Small in jinchangqing village in Shilin town, reporters found
some villagers of selling land contracts. Says the owner is a flexible
investment company in Yunnan province, party b is a small village in
jinchangqing village, rent is $ 400 a year per acre, age 22, once every
5 years to pay the rent.
In 2006 issued by the State of the State Council on issues concerning
intensifying the land control notification provided for in: prohibition
of unauthorized conversion of farmland into construction land.
Agricultural land into building sites must conform to the general
planning of land use planning, urban, village and town planning,
included in the annual land use plans and agricultural land conversion
formalities examination and approval procedures; prohibit through such
means as rent on behalf of levy used the peasants ownership of
agricultural land for non-agricultural construction, expanding the
scale of construction land without permission.
Flexible investment companies and farmers signed the contract after the
contract, to farmland as commercial development, construction of a
golf, is a typical behavior to rent on behalf of levy. Flexible
investment company a clear violation of the relevant provisions of the
country.
Blind eye to the related Department for illegal activities
Countries in 2004 issued a moratorium on the new golf course
notifications, clear requirements, stop all golf items for. Ordinarily
occupies more than 10,000 acres of golf like this simply will not get
the approval of the project, how to built this golf course is this?
Reporter started the investigation.
For an already built and opening of golf, the local head of the Bureau
of development and reform, project work, this golf course is project of
eco-National Stadium, and now what he is not sure of the actual
construction. As a rule, project is the first step in project approval,
development and reform Bureau has the first responsibility of road
checks, how will even what works is not clear?
And when reporters asked if this was the construction of golf, when the
change-whether the Council has the responsibility to stop it,
development and reform Bureau that developers no escalation of
violations himself, the change-not for control.
For such behavior, head of Shilin County land Bureau said they issued
the corresponding notice of lay-off, time served is August 23, 2010.
Golf course developers told a press conference, August 2010 has
finished building the stadium.
For this downright illegal items in Shilin County development and
reform Bureau selected turn a blind eye, not bothering at all, the
local national land Bureau is turned a blind eye. Why functional
departments for corporate offences lie in it? What developers out of
reason.
Developers said that the Government not only knew but agreed with the
golf course construction, they are in Government only with the consent
of the construction of the stadium.
GAO Yun-hua, Deputy Director of the Shilin tourism area management
Committee believes that this golf course not only illegal but also a
good project, able to drive the local economy, but States do not allow,
not encouraged.
A downright illegal project, at the head of the local authorities pull
the economy appears to be a good project. With this understanding, an
illegal Golf project that lights up, and put into operation it is not
surprising. From the project start, developers and local authorities
are playing with building national ecological deceive in the name of
the sports ground, and in the process of building on the embezzlement
of large amounts of farmland, woodland, relevant law enforcement
departments should turn a blind eye. People cannot but ask local
authorities exactly what project makes illegal items do?
