GEORGE TOWN: PPB Group Bhd will submit plans before mid-2016 to redevelop the New World Park, a landmark heritage site in Penang, into a mixed development project.

PPB (property division) chief operating officer Chew Hwei Yeow said the group was still talking to the authorities to understand what was allowed and not allowed to be developed at the five-acre site.
