An international hotel and office
tower, Convention center, a shopping and commercial centre and
marina.
The 39 level Hotel Tower will include a Ball
Room facility that accommodates 1,500 people, a Specialty Restaurant,
recreational facilities including a pool, a spa and a fitness centre.
Within the Tower, six floors of condominiums are planned.
The
Office component is a 6-storey structure of approximately 6,000
square meters of rentable area with on site parking for 300 vehicles.
The convention centre will be located on a 6-hectare land and will
have a total floor area of 36,500sq m. The centre’s pillar-free
Great Hall has the capacity for 5,000 people. The Great Hall is
flexible and may be reconfigured to suit different functions, exhibitions & events.
An adjacent 14 meeting rooms capable of accommodation up to 1600
persons is available. When completed, the Convention Center will
place Kuching in forefront for attracting major national and regional
conventions, expositions and trade shows and would boost Sarawak’s
efforts to tap the meeting, incentives, convention and exhibition
(MICE) market.


The New DUN building will be the
future venue for Sarawak’s State Legislative Assembly sittings.
With its distinctive “payung”
roof, the new DUN complex is set to become an icon for the State.
The architecture of the complex combines unique
elements of Sarawak’s heritage with state-of-the-art intelligent
building automation systems, multimedia communication facilities,
and environmentally friendly features. The complex is part of an
overall masterplan covering a 172-acre development at Pangkalan
Sapi on the banks of the Sarawak river.
Waterfront extension to Brooke Dockyards
Work on the esplanade extension at the Kuching
waterfront west of Pangkalan Sapi is imminent and will be completed
in about two years' time. This scenic walk will eventually be extended
to link up to the Satok Commercial Area through the scenic and
quaint Kampung Masjid.


A comprehensive public transportation
study is being conducted. The proposal is to integrate the various
bus companies & modernize the bus fleet. The routes & schedules
would also be rationalized into an efficient and comprehensive
transport network with interchanges for ‘in city’ and ‘inter-city’
buses. This will improve ridership, lessen the impact of cars on
the environment, alleviate congestion and will have a very positive
impact on the City.
