THE draft 2030 Seberang Perai Local Plan (DRTSP2030) has managed to gather a total of 2,559 feedback from the residents on the mainland through the public participation.
Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) mayor Datuk Rozali Mohamud said the public participation was held for three months starting from April 12 until July 9 this year.
“The public was given the opportunity to make suggestions and submit their objections through online in view of the Covid-19 situation.
“After all, the purpose of publicity and public participation is to encourage the community to be equally involved in planning the future development of their area through DRTSP2030.
“And I am glad that MBSP has received a positive and encouraging feedback from various quarters in Seberang Perai for the draft local plan.
