Penang Watch

Public Forum
"Overdevelopment
along North Coast of Penang"

VENUE: Sandy Beach
Paradise Hotel, Jalan Tanjung Bunga, Penang 

Organiser: Tanjung Bunga
Residents Association (TBRA) 

Come participate in the Public Forum on the
uncontrolled and
overdevelopment along North Coast of Penang, ie, Tanjung Tokong, Tanjong
Bunga and  Batu Ferringhi. What type of development and local planning do we want?  If you
are a resident living along the north Coast, this overdevelopment will
affect
you badly in the near future. This trend, if unchecked,  may
likely to happen to other districts of Penang. If you want sustainable
development and enjoy living in Penang, come and voice your concerns.

The main issues that will be highlighted and
discussed at the
Saturday night Forum are:

1. Zoning issues: Tanjong Bunga must
   be in the
   Secondary Development Corridor and deliberate secret, illegal changes
   must be
   set right.
2. Traffic and other Infrastructure cannot cope,
   despite
   promises.
3. Beach encroachment, illegal
   reclamations –
   who benefits? 
4. Dangerous Hill development on
   Class III
   & IV slopes – disasters in waiting
5. The Importance of the Local Plan
   in the
   proper development of Penang.  

 The Forum will
highlight many inconsistencies relating to limits on density,
construction
projects on very steep hills and other uncontrolled developments.
 This overdevelopment if not quickly resolved will be
serious
and far reaching consequences.
