The Penang South Reclamation development encompasses a master plan strategically designed to fund the implementation of the Penang Transport Masterplan, catering to both the transportation network and the provision of high-quality developable land. This comprehensive planning process not only addresses the shortage of development land and urban congestion but also brings substantial socio-economic benefits through job creation for the local community.

With a strong emphasis on innovation, the master plan embraces the concept of a smart city, integrating advanced technologies into the planning and design. The reclamation master plan received approval from the State Planning Committee in May 2016, paving the way for its realization.
