Improving access via upgrades
to existing road networks, airports and sea ports
As a start, the Government is investing in the development
of key improvements, such as a new expressway linking
the region to the central, southern and northern regions
of the peninsula, improvements on existing Federal roads,
upgrading of the region’s domestic airports and
the major ports to cater to the investors’ needs
in the future. Improvements to sea ports, airports, roads
and highways as outlined in the ECER Master Plan will
result in the region being better connected within and
outside the country.
Mitigating floods and coastal
erosion
There will also be major flood mitigation projects to
progressively improve drainage conditions in the ECER’s
major urban centres. Coastal erosion, a major issue in
the several parts of the region will be handled systematically
to allow development projects to take place with minimal
disruption.
Improving utilities and sewerage
Plans are also afoot towards improving the capacity of
major utilities, such as water, electricity, Information
Communication Technology (ICT) and fixed line infrastructure,
as well as the sewerage system and solid waste management.
Real estate development
Property and construction will be a focus to prepare sufficient
residential, leisure, commercial and industrial properties
to meet the region’s economic demands and growth.
