RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
Table 24 :. Proposed land-use pattern
• Residential use: Additional area proposed in the master plan is about 50 hectares (58%) and the
additional population anticipated can be accommodated in the area.
• Commercial use: The town serves the shopping needs of the town and its hinterlands. Additional
commercial areas have been proposed and marked in the land use map.
• Industrial use: Scope for industrial development in this town is limited due to the nonavailability of vacant
land or Urban developable land within LPA. Unemployment problem of local people and outward
migration of the people can be controlled to some extent by establishing additional industries utilizing the
raw materials such as coconut fibers and fish.
• Preservation of protected areas: The proposed Master Plan envisaged the protection of double and triple
crop wet lands from building activities and coastal stretches up to a distance of 500m from HTL to restrict
building activities.
Development Potentials: Growth potential of the town is more pronounced at the regional level, for the town is
the nodal centre for nearby towns and villages. The location of the town on the State highways makes it easily
accessible and supports the town’s economic potential i.e. fishing trade. The well established connectivity of the
town with surrounding areas also enables faster growth.
Constraints: The Development of the town is constrained by four main factors. They are:
• Location of the Arabian Sea in the southern fringe, the Pampoori vaikal channel running through the outskirts in
west part and a tank in the north side of the administrative jurisdiction of the town are the limiting factors for the
expansion of the town in the northern, western and southern directions.
• Lack of scope of major industries also restricts the scope of development.
• The town falls under CRZ II and development regulations are applicable for these areas.
• Limited Availability of land for development within the town limit necessitates increased density.
3.5.6. Solid waste and wastewater management
Colachel Town generates 5 MT of waste daily on an average. The waste generated comprises of waste from
Households, Markets, Commercial Establishments, Hotels and Industries. The waste generated is found to be
higher in the core area of the town, where there is concentration of basic services such as Bus stand, Daily
Market and Hospitals. The town is also an ‘urban centre’ for the nearby villages, which invites the commercial
establishments which generate the waste.
Of the total 5 MT of waste generated, ULB collects 4 MT daily. Door to door daily collection of the waste is yet
to be implemented in the town. At present waste collected from the town are dumped in low lying areas and
along the coastal side of the town near AVM channel. ULB is planned to purchase 10 acres of land at Salt Pari
area to set up solid waste treatment and disposal facility.
