KUCHING: Applications for the Kampung Gedong Baru Expansion Scheme developed by the Land and Survey Department Sarawak (JTS) open today.
The state government has implemented the Resettlement Scheme (SPS) and the Village Expansion Scheme (SPK) project.
JTS said the projects provided residential lots which were more comfortable, organised and equipped with various basic amenities such as road network, drainage system, water supply and electricity supply.
“The state government has also improved the specifications and basic infrastructural components in the new SPS and SPK, and improvements made to the basic infrastructure, such as the road network from gravel road to a paved one,” JTS said in a statement.
The drainage system has also been upgraded to concrete drains.
JTS said the cost would be borne by the Sarawak government which would be in the region of RM100,000 to RM120,000 per lot.
“This is an initiative by the state government to reduce the premium rate by 50 per cent for residential lots in all SPS and SPK which are not more than RM2,500 per lot.
“This is to ease the burden of low-income people involved in such schemes for complete premium payments,” the department said.
