Everywhere in the project is covered with grass because it has been abandoned for a long time and no one has cleaned it up.

According to research, recently the People's Committee of Da Nang City has information about the proposal of Trung Nam Joint Stock Company regarding the Golden Hills City ecological urban area project.

In particular, Trungnam Land proposed to adjust and update investor information, project name and objectives including: adding content of building houses for sale or rent, lease purchase. The investor also proposed to increase investment capital from 4,447 billion VND to 7,648 billion VND. The project implementation progress was adjusted from 2010-2016 to 2023-2029.

Most of the houses have completed stairs, the inside walls are not finished.

Regarding Trungnam Land's proposal, the Da Nang People's Committee stated that it had previously granted an investment registration certificate for the project but had not yet completed the procedures to submit to the Prime Minister for approval as prescribed. Therefore, the project adjustment is currently under the Prime Minister's authority, and the Da Nang People's Committee has no basis to implement the company's proposal.

According to the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the project's problems have been commented on by the Ministry of Planning and Investment . Local authorities are looking for ways to resolve them.
