  • Profile

    The Urban Planning Division was upgraded to a department on January 1, 1985, in line with the enforcement of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 for the entire state of Penang. Previously, it was a division under the Secretariat Department of the Penang Municipal Council.

    Once again, on May 8, 1993, the Urban Planning Department changed its name to the Department of Urban Planning and Development in line with the functions and roles it played in the development of Penang.

    On February 1, 2004, the MPPP Landscape Unit was transferred to the Department of Urban Planning and Development to realize the government's desire to create an administrative area of MPPP as a City in a Garden. Starting October 1, 2004, this Department of Urban Planning and Development was renamed the Department of Planning and Development.

    This department is led by a Grade J52 Urban and Rural Planner Officer known as the Director of Development Planning. The restructuring of the Penang Municipal Council was implemented on October 1, 2004, by the Public Service Department (JPA), resulting in the establishment of nine (9) departments.

    Currently, the Department of Planning and Development operates on Level 16 of KOMTAR, the Administrative Division on Level 11 of KOMTAR, and the OSC Unit on Level 4 of KOMTAR. Starting November 1, 2011, the MPPP Appointment Authority decided that the Landscape Unit would be absorbed and placed under the supervision of the Department of Recreation, Tourism, and International Relations.

    The Penang State Authority agreed on June 25, 2010, for the Penang Municipal Council to be upgraded to the Penang Island City Council based on the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171). Subsequently, the Penang Municipal Council was upgraded to the Penang Island City Council on January 1, 2015. In October 2018, the Local Centre Unit (OSC) was transferred from the Department of Planning and Development and placed under the Mayor's Unit of MBPP.
