Staged Move to Be Completed by October 29

Shuttle for Visitors to Run Every 30 Minutes

Seoul's Gangseo-gu, led by District Mayor Jin Gyohoon, has begun moving to the Magok Integrated District Office (135 Gonghang-daero), bringing to a close 49 years at its office in Hwagok-dong. On October 12, key public service departments, including the Civil Service and Passport Division, Tax Administration Division, Housing Division, and Real Estate Information Division, as well as the Gangseo Public Health Center, will move. Public health center services will be temporarily suspended for two weeks, from October 12 through 25, while equipment is moved, so visitors should check before coming.

According to the district on October 12, the move is intended to bring together administrative departments, the district council, and the public health center, which had been spread across Gangseo-gu Office's main building and annexes in Gayang-dong and Hwagok-dong. The new office building has two basement levels and eight above-ground floors.

The departments will move in stages from October 6 through 29. The departments in the Gayang-dong and Hwagok-dong annexes completed their move on October 6 and have already resumed work. On October 19, key departments from the main building and welfare-related departments will move; the district council and the remaining departments will follow on October 26 and 29. The public health center will suspend related services from October 12 through 25 to move specialized equipment, including that in its radiology and clinical laboratory rooms.

The district will run a free shuttle for residents who mistakenly go to the old office. A 12-seat vehicle will circulate every 30 minutes along a route connecting the old office, the public health center, the Gayang-dong annex, and the integrated new office. The shuttle will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with no break for lunch.

The new office is about a three-minute walk (200 meters) from Exit 1 of Magok Station on Subway Line 5. Bus passengers can get off at the "Gangseo-gu Integrated Office, Gangseo Tax Office" stop, and drivers can use the underground parking lot.

Spaces for residents will also be available. The Gangseo History and Culture Center, which introduces the 50-year history of Gangseo-gu's administration; Magok Open Library; and a public wedding venue using shared space are scheduled to open in November. The building also has a cafeteria and meeting rooms.

District Mayor Jin Gyohoon said, "The start of the Magok Integrated District Office era, which comes after 49 years, will provide an opportunity to offer residents more comfortable and convenient administrative services. We will ensure that shuttle services and public service guidance are fully in place so residents do not experience confusion or inconvenience during the move."
