BSB Masterplan 5 key main areas

It is apparent that every plan has its own strategic objectives and the 10 strategic objectives for BSB Masterplan can be see HERE. While objectives are crucial to determine the direction of the plan, as public society, I believe it is equally important for us to be informed and constantly updated about the contents of the masterplan. In this case, the major components that signify the BSB Masterplan are the projects. According to the authorised experts; the main projects development of the BSB Masterplan are focused under these 5 key areas:


Area 1: Kampung Ayer


Area 2: Central Business District


Area 3: Gadong & Kiulap


Area 4: Government Administrative Centre


Area 5: The Airport HUB

While the future growth in BSB will be located in the 5 main areas; the development of the masterplan will eventually be expanded to other areas in the next phase, which also includes Beribi, Bunut, Subok Vally and Serusop.


The Masterplan's current status?

Upon realizing effective implementation of the BSB masterplan, the Ministry of Home Affairs have announced catalysts projects that will set framework for the growth earlier this year. Currently, these are the 4 catalyst projects that are focused at (as at 8th May 2011):

  1. Riverfront Eco Corridor
  2. Integrated Public Transportation System
  3. Kampong Ayer Revitalisation
  4. Rejuvenation of the Central Business District
