KOTA KINABALU: The Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) is expected to complete the final draft of its Kota Kinabalu Local Plan 2020 by December, said Mayor Datuk Abidin Madingkir.
He said further inputs and views would be gathered from stakeholders to be included in the draft before it is submitted to the Central Town and Country Planning Board (CTCPB) and other higher authorities for consideration.
“Finally, if approved, it will be submitted to the Head of State for endorsement,” he said, adding that the statutory planning document would guide and control existing and future developments throughout the city area.
Officiating at the closing of the Kota Kinabalu Local Plan Draft Workshop here yesterday, Abidin said DBKK had conducted a Hearing Committee Meeting last year to gather inputs from developers and other related parties.
He said their views and suggestions were taken into consideration and included in the amendments made to the Local Plan.
He said City Hall was hoping to conduct another Hearing Committee Meeting within next month and October to further improve the draft, before it can be submitted to the CTCPB.
“This second Draft Hearing will specifically gather inputs from all objectors, specially non-governmental organizations (NGOs),” he said, adding that it was hoped the Local Plan could be used as an example by other local authorities in Sabah.
He explained the document was a complete reference containing written statements, memorandum and layout zoning plan.
The document is in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of the Town and Country Planning Ordinance, he added.
“I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the general public for their exemplary and disciplined responses to the planning process conducted by City Hall.
“With your continuous support, I believe we can transform Kota Kinabalu City into a world class Nature Resort City by 2020,” he said.Borneo Post
