Setia Alam is a part of Local Plan or known as Rancangan Tempatan (RT) of MBSA.
It is prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 (1) of the Town and Country
Planning Act 1976 (Act 172) has stated that each local authority required to prepare local
plans for areas under its administration.
Local Plan Area is bordered by the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) in the north,
Kuala Langat District Council (MDKL) in the south, of the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) in
the west and the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and the Subang Jaya Municipal Council
in the east. For the purpose of planning and controlling the use of land in a more systematic,
areas under MBSAs jurisdiction area of 29 030 hectares divided into five areas or known as
blok perancangan kecil (BPK). Setia Alam is falls under BPK 4 which consists of 1,618
hectares of land.
Total : 29
030 hectares
In this case study, the developer already has the land and seksyen U13 and he
planning to do development. Before he appointed the designer to design the building, he
checks the status land at local authority which the land is at Shah Alam so he goes to MBSA
to look at the master plan.
Figure 6 Master Plan at section U13
The picture above known as the Master Plan for section U13 in Shah Alam.
According to Mr Zainuddin, assistant planning officer in Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), he
explained that every area in Selangor have their own Master Plan. Same goes to section
U13, any development occur in this area, an organization / a developer need to have their
planning permission layout approval that submitted to the local authority. It is a same
procedure to get planning permission for building plans. As you can see that blue colours of
some area represent it is a commercial land. If the area is in green colour, it is mean that the
status of the land is for recreational area. We cannot simply build a hospital on a different
type of land such as agriculture land. That is why it is important for any development to deal
with the land office to ensure that any development on that land is suit for its purpose. For
this case study, in the section U13 the land status already shows that it is a commercial land.
So there should be no issue to have construction in that area.
After the Setia Alam confirmed the status the land, he appointed the designer to
design the building. Before it can proceed with the construction, they need to get the
planning permission of building plans. Its important the designer design the building with
follow the guideline State Selangor to get the approval planning submissions. The building
plans cover for the whole building. Each floor has their own layout planning. After that need
submitted to the osc, then a particular unit such as building department will be in charges for
that building plan permission. OSC will act as a coordinator for the local authority internal
department and also toward the external approval agencies like SYABAS, TNB and IWK. It
is an independent body that acts as a facilitator for the planning process for submission of
plans at the local authority. Osc will check every side the layout plans to make sure all
guideline have been followed from guidelines State Selangor.
Then, after get the approval planning permission and after Osc have been confirmed
all the layout plans have been followed the guidelines State Selangor, the developer can
start the construction. According to Mr. Zainuddin the local authority give valid in one year to
start the construction, local authority will take back the permission if the developer start late
from in one year.
6.3 Development Plan
The development strategy of Setia Alam has been formulated for local plans are in
line with the vision of the State of Selangor, the Selangor Structure Plan and MBSA Vision to
meet the needs of the planned development. The strategy development is very important to
ensure the establishment of a sustainable environment, dynamic domestic economy and
quality of life.
The outward growth of city can be seen clearly on the master plan of Setia Alam.
Based on the plan, the city is growing outward. Setia Alam is more complex rather than other
city because of the existing of multiple nuclei (business area, to be specific). This nucleus
acts as a growth point. It attracts people to come and accommodate that area. Besides,
every location of nucleus in Setia Alam reflects its economic needs such as the growth of
shopping lot at city Centre to attract people from Shah Alam or various places to drop by
Setia Alam and from there, the business could expand. These different centers attract
growth and encourage further development. The master plan of Setia Alam could be refer at
Appendix (Figure 6).
