Land Use Changes Required for Jelutong Reclamation in George Town
What happened
Land use changes are required for the Jelutong reclamation project in George Town. The project involves a proposed 70-acre reclamation, which is being challenged by the Protect Karpal Singh Drive action committee, a group under the Bandar Sri Pinang Pulau Pinang Residents’ Association. The committee urges the Penang state government to reject the proposal and enforce limits set in the joint development agreement.

Why it matters
The dispute centers on the scope of the reclamation, which has expanded significantly from the initial proposal. The joint development agreement defines additional land as being required only to secure perimeters for rehabilitation works, a reading supported by the action committee. The approval of these land use changes is critical for the project's continuation.
S P Setia Bhd is developing townships in Penang and has incorporated Heritage Park into its plans.
