North Seafront Programme - OUR WORK

OUR WORK

North Seafront

Programme

The North Seafront is a major public realm improvement initiative aimed at upgrading the George Town’s north waterfront. The area has been identified as a priority conservation area in the George Town Special Area Plan’s Annexure B.

The implementation of the North Seafront demonstrates the advantages of a culture-based approach that offers sustainable well-being to the community while preserving its valuable cultural and environmental assets.

The first inception plan was approved in 2017 with funding allocated for selected projects such as the preliminary phase of Fort Cornwallis, the Dewan Sri Pinang Conservation Management Plan and the Strengthening of the Esplanade’s Seawall.
