Development Eastpoint Curacao
Development Eastpoint Curacao Curacao – Talk of news or popping event, sometimes you want the reader to climb into the pen. At Versgeperst.com we welcome letters to the editor. Today, the family Grind shares their development area in East Point.
The Government and the States of Curaçao prove the economy and the local community a tremendous service as they will soon accept a revision destination for East Point. Except that the environment and nature are kept locally intact, the planned sustainable development of East Point will contribute to job creation, housing, sport and recreation, farming, etc.
settlement
Because the family Grind in breach of agreements were still burdened in 1995 with a Corpse Island Development Plan (EOP) that made any kind of development of their land in East Point impossible, was the step to the front right hand. In 1999, the family feast of the judge got it right by his side. After the predecessor of the current Curacao, the island territory of Curaçao, twice an opinion of the Court to negotiate had been beaten in the wind, the Island Territory of Curaçao was sentenced to a hefty compensation. In the allocation of these damages was starting in the verdict that the destination of East Point would be revised by the government so that development of 50% of the land would be possible. Would that review failure than the compensation would be multiples.
Then committed in 2001 the starting point of 50% development in a protocol between the Island Territory and Grind and negotiated for years until a Settlement on the table was which was signed in August 2010 in 2010, after a large majority of the Island Council of Curaçao it had approved .
Steering Eastpoint
Except that, as agreed in the Settlement, a Steering Committee Eastpoint was formed with representatives of the government and the family Grind which was responsible for the preparation, supervision and planning of pathways for review of planning rules in the EOP for Eastpoint, the government ordered to reputable foreign firms to make a study of both the environmental, ecological and planning as financial / economic consequences of development (of parts) of Eastpoint. The TOR (terms of reference) for these studies were in 2010 by a majority of the Island Council approved. On this basis can further specified in the revision of the destinations which of Eastpoint components are eligible for development and which are not.
environmental protection
Contrary to the impression given by some through certain media is frequently aroused, there is as yet no question of a development plan for East Point. The only thing there is now a structure which assigns locations to parts of the premises. Some of these destinations make development possible, and these are assigned to the sites responsibly and thus can be sustainably developed without harming the environment, nature, the environment of specific flora and fauna and places of cultural and historical or archaeological point of view of its value. Before there are any concrete plans and the possible impact, for example, be assessed on the coral, need to be gone through several phases of planning and permits. A study for tourism development in various Caribbean islands shows that there are examples of responsible developments that have the effect of damaging the stone coral. Responsible development would, in this context, among others say that while rules on drainage rioleersystemen etc. are followed. When granting building permits and the like will also be based on law requirements that the marine environment and the corals are protected. In addition, each developer will Eastpoint ensuring that the coral is preserved as a tourist attraction dive. It is in its own interest. That the revision of the destinations in East Point would be contrary to international conventions and protocols is an incorrect statement and it seems already intended to negatively influence public opinion through misinformation.
opinion
The government has recently held hearings in which operators are able to put forward their views on the revision of the EOP bringing with substantial input from stakeholders be taken into account. Moreover, have been submitted by interested parties, but 15 views.
The development of East Point
The government will EOP regard Eastpoint must first review and amendment as the advisory Advisory Council and Economic and Social Council and finally submit it to the States. A majority of the States should be supporting to grant the review for Eastpoint force of law, thereby developing Eastpoint with a larger surface area than Dutch Sint Maarten as possible, but which remains more than 50% green and properly managed and protected can become.agreements not respected and development of East Point will not be possible this liability for damages of the Curacao have for breach of contract cause and the community hands full cost money. In addition, illegal and then in the vast area of East Point uncontrollable activities will as drug smuggling, poaching, spear fishing / destruction of coral, dumping of garbage, scrap metal, car wrecks and even seem to continue. Development of this area, the community, delivers numerous benefits in the form of new jobs, space for housing for islanders, tourism projects, agricultural lands, recreational areas, sports facilities, etc. That such a balanced development with respect for local nature will be a new impetus indicate the Curaçao economy is indisputable.
