Sarawak’s new housing policy likely to spur growth of affordable housing


Towns such as Bintulu will continue to see growth due to implementation of mega projects.

KUCHING: The state policy change to allow more houses to be built on every acre of land is expected to spur the construction of affordable homes.

Leading property consultant CH Williams Talhar Wong & Yeo Sdn Bhd (WTWY) said the recent approval by the Sarawak Planning Authority to increase development density from eight to 10 units per acre for landed housing and 24 to 30 units per acre for stratified housing would help pave way for more affordable housing to be built as a feasible option for private developers.
