The mandate given to Basil Read was to develop a human settlement with a sustainable environment to educate communities on how to manage their houses and to develop a nursery to green the area. The Danish government donated solar panels for the area. In 2005, the eradication of three informal settlements started with the shacks that were in the river bank. Those who did not qualify for subsidy houses were then given an option of rental accommodation. Various sites were set aside by Codevco among other to business, churches, a school and for a police station.
