Guidelines for Development of Gated Community

This is the guidelines for development of gated community from Selangor Housing and Property Board, under Section 6 (1A) Strata Titles Act 1985 (Act 318). I think Penang also have similar Guidelines.

Gated Community as defined by the Selangor Housing and Property Board is a development that is demarcated with a physical structure that runs along the perimeter or boundary with controlled access to the general public.

Applicants must state clearly that the planning approval applications are for ‘gated community developments’ under Section 6 (1A) Strata Title Act 1985 (Act 318).

2. Size of Development

3. Public Amenities

Developers must indicate GACOS parcels and public amenities (to be surrendered to the government) in each layout plan and precomputation plan. PBT, however, has the right to determine the size of development depending on circumstances.

For 1 GACOS Parcel, the provision of playground/vacant area is 10% while the minimum area required for a community hall is 2,000 sq ft. Development exceeding 1 GACOS Parcel must provide integrated public amenities to be located outside of GACOS.
