>From dumpsite to a resort city
     KOTA BARU: A solid waste disposal site at Teluk Kitang, near the Sultan 
Ismail Petra Airport in Pengkalan Chepa, will be relocated and in its place 
will emerge a multi-million-ringgit resort city.       Developed jointly by the 
Kota Baru Municipal Council and property company Sri Sabak Development Sdn Bhd, 
the planned Airport Resort City will be built in four phases over the next 10 
years.       The 160ha project will contain, among others, 1,000 units of 
various categories of homes, 400 units of shop houses, a school, a hotel and a 
water theme park adjacent to the state airport.       Unveiling the project 
here yesterday, council president Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman said the waste 
disposal site would be relocated next year.    The construction of the RM500mil 
resort township will begin in January 2008 after the land acquisition process 
is completed.       It will be the first resort-living project in Kelantan and 
will reflect the growing disposal income of its people, he
 told reporters after signing a Memorandum of Understanding on the project with 
Sri Sabak Development.        “We have identified several landowners and 
acquisition will take place over most of next year.       “The land price will 
be determined by the Federal land valuation department and will be paid 
directly to the owners,” he said, adding that the acquisition cost would be 
about RM20mil.       Abdul Aziz said the project would emulate the concept of 
Sunway Lagoon, near Kuala Lumpur, to draw cash-rich residents, investors and 
tourists.       He added that it would become a catalyst for growth in 
Pengkalan Chepa, a suburban locality which is about 30 minutes drive from the 
state capital.        Abdul Aziz said the developer had agreed to build a 1.5km 
wave-breaker along the project site near Pantai Sabak to guard against beach 
erosion and some segments of land reclamation.       On the current rubbish 
disposal site, which receives 300 metric tonnes of waste daily, he said
 it would be relocated to a bigger centralised area to serve the districts of 
Kota Baru, Ketereh and Bachok.       “Residents in Teluk Kitang will no longer 
have to bear with the foul stench once the site is relocated. The new site will 
use technology from Canada to ensure it does not emit any undesirable stench,” 
he added.        Sri Sabak chairman Datuk Yeo Wang Seng said they were excited 
to be involved in the project, which would transform the face of Pengkalan 
Chepa into a resort city. //Thestar

  Re: [perakan] RM120 Juta Bangunkan Sabak Sebagai Airport Resort City
   
          KOTA BHARU, 10 Dis: Hampir 160 hektar tanah berhampiran kawasan 
Pantai Sabak di sini akan dibangunkan sebagai bandar pelancongan yang 
menelan kos lebih RM120 juta.

Yang Dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu Bandaraya Islam (MPKB-
BRI), Abd Aziz Ab Rahman berkata projek yang dijalankan secara usaha 
sama antara MPKB dan syarikat pemaju Sri Sabak Development itu, 
dijangka bermula pada Januari 2008, selepas proses pengambilalihan 
tanah selesai.

"Daripada 160 hektar itu, 130.7 hektar milik orang perseorangan 
manakala 29 hektar milik MPKB, termasuk tapak pelupusan sampah 
sekarang di Teluk Kitang," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis 
menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MoU) projek berkenaan di 
sini, hari ini.

Abd Aziz berkata proses mengambil semula tanah berkenaan dijangka 
mengambil masa kira-kira enam hingga lapan bulan mengikut Akta 
Pengambilalihan Tanah 1960.

"Bagi harga tanah pula, kita akan serahkan kepada Jabatan Penilaian 
Persekutuan untuk membuat penilaian sebelum dibayar kepada pemilik," 
katanya.

Beliau berkata pembangunan projek itu yang dijangka mengambil masa 10 
tahun akan dilaksanakan mengikut empat fasa.

"Ia merangkumi pembinaan 1,000 unit rumah kediaman, 400 unit rumah 
kedai, resort, hotel, taman tema air serta marina," katanya.

Abd Aziz berkata kos keseluruhan projek tersebut dijangka mencecah 
RM500 juta memandangkan banyak perubahan yang bakal dibuat, termasuk 
menebus guna tapak pelupusan sampah dan paya serta pembinaan benteng 
pemecah ombak sepanjang 1.5 kilometer.

"Kita harapkan projek ini akan menjadi pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan 
ekonomi, bukan sahaja di kawasan Sabak, malah kawasan sekitarnya," 
katanya.

Beliau berkata pemilihan Sabak sebagai lokasi projek berkenaan adalah 
bagi menarik lebih ramai pelancong berkunjung ke situ memandangkan 
lokasinya hanya kira-kira lima minit dari Lapangan Terbang Sultan 
Ismail Petra, di sini.

Katanya tapak pelupusan sampah di Teluk Kitang akan dipindahkan ke 
satu kawasan yang telah dikenal pasti untuk kemudahan guna sama MPKB, 
Majlis Daerah Ketereh dan Bachok.

"Selain mesra alam, melalui penggunaan teknologi Kanada bagi 
menukarkan sisa pelupusan itu sebagai baja organik, MPKB juga akan 
mewujudkan industri kecil dan sederhana berkaitan, berdekatan tapak 
itu," katanya.
