KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — The National Physical Planning Council (NPPC) meeting today approved two main policies related to urban and rural planning and also agreed on the setting up of a Regional Planning Committee (JPW) for the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who chaired the 39th NPPC meeting, said the two policies, namely the 4th National Physical Plan (RFN4) and the National Coastal Zone Physical Plan 2 (RFZPPN-2) will be prepared according to provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172).
“RFN is the highest level document in the national land use planning system.
“In line with the provisions under subsection 6B (4) of Act 172, the RFN shall be reviewed every five years, in line with the preparation of Malaysia’s Five Year Plan or if and when directed by the NPPC,” he said in a statement today.
RFN4 is to determine the direction of physical development, including economic, environmental and social aspects for all planned areas in the Peninsula and Labuan and requires the involvement of various parties at every stage of planning and development.
