The water purification product manufacturing upgrade project of Qingdao Ecolife Electric Co., Ltd. (also known as Qingdao Yikepu Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.) is a key municipal industrial project and a major contributor to local tax revenue which is expected to boost the local economy, support steady fiscal revenue growth and create jobs. To accelerate its construction, completion and production, the Jimo Planning Branch (of the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau) has provided proactive and end-to-end support to help clear planning approval bottlenecks and speed up project delivery.

Through the various phases of the project, the branch assigned dedicated personnel to track progress from preliminary planning review and subsequent revisions through to final completion verification while also coordinating joint site visits with housing and urban-rural development, fire and rescue, and other relevant authorities to verify each construction indicators individually. Relevant officials also provided a consolidated list of rectification points and documentation requirements, in addition to assessing any queries relating to planning and resolving any acceptance issues on site to help prevent delays caused by incomplete documentation or deviations from approved plans. Despite the implementation of this fast-track approval channel to simultaneously streamline procedures and process applications, the branch remains steadfast and dedicated towards upholding strict approval guidelines and statutory verification requirements throughout the verification procedures which were completed in just two working days, clearing a key prerequisite for final acceptance. This has also removed obstacles to subsequent real estate registration and completion acceptance filing, helping the project move more quickly into the construction phase.

Going forward, the Jimo Planning Branch will continue to improve the business environment and strengthen proactive, full-cycle support for key projects while further promoting more business-friendly measures like early intervention, on-site guidance and expedited approvals. It is through efficient and standardised planning services like this instance that the branch wishes to do its part to help industrial projects across Jimo move faster from launch and construction to full production so as to provide strong support in terms of planning, documentation, and approval for the high-quality development of the district’s real economy.
