WATERFRONT

DEVELOPMENT

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN

(CLUP)

Iloilo City is abundant with bodies of water. It is located along Iloilo Strait and traversed by three major rivers. With

a 21.3-kilometer coastline and a total of 113-kilometer riverfront, it has a vast potential for waterfront

development. Iloilo City is abundant with these natural resources. But as of the present, these natural resource

potentials are not yet maximized.

It was observed that waterways are in a degraded condition in terms of environmental quality. The quality of the

pollutant loads measured in most of the rivers and coasts of Iloilo City are greatly exceeding the acceptable levels of

pollution.

Furthermore, informal settlements contribute to the diminished aesthetics of these areas. Facing the waters are the back of these establishments, which promote polluting the waters further s they cannot be seen and appreciated.

DEVELOPMENT

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN

(CLUP)

The plan for Iloilo City is to pursue waterfront development, which will maximize the potentials of its long

coastlines and riverfronts and convert these lands into prime lots. Development should be facing the

water instead of using it as “back of the house”.

ILOILO FISH PORT COMPLEX TANZA,LOILO CITY

ILOILO FISH PORT COMPLEX

The Iloilo Fishport Complex is a 21-hectare reclaimed structure in Pala-Pala, Brgy.

Tanza, Iloilo City. This area is supposed to serve as a center for fish trading and

marine products processing of Region VI. Ocular inspection of the area reveals that

no such activities are happening in the process. There are reports that this area is not being utilized throughout the day, and such a large facility, the area used for fish trading and fish processing is just a small

portion. It is proposed that the area be developed for activities other than its

intended purpose in order to maximize the use of land resource and provide an

attraction along the waterfront.

ILOILO FISH PORT COMPLEX

VISIONBy 2020 PFDA should have achieved

effective and sustainable post-harvest facilities and infrastructure contributing to
