Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) is in the process of appointing a contractor for the construction of its multipurpose sports complex in Taman Wawasan, Pusat Bandar Puchong.
Subang Jaya mayor Datuk Amirul Azizan Abd Rahim said MBSJ was currently negotiating the project’s cost to ensure a fair and reasonable price.
“The previous contractor encountered issues and abandoned the project.
“The matter has since been resolved, but the site was left unfinished.
“We will negotiate the price with the Valuation and Property Management Department, in collaboration with the Engineering Department, led by deputy mayor Mohd Zulkurnain Che Ali, before finalising the decision,” Amirul Azizan said at a press conference after MBSJ’s full board meeting at Menara MBSJ.
When asked about parking availability, MBSJ Engineering Department director Dr Mohd Ariffuddin Kamari confirmed that the complex would have over 60 parking bays.
These include two bus bays, approximately 30 motorcycle bays and around 30 spaces for light vehicles.
While this may seem limited for a facility with a seating capacity of 1,018, MBSJ Zone 16 councillor Lee Jen Uyin clarified that the complex was primarily intended for local residents.
“The complex is also designed with schoolchildren in mind, particularly those from Subang Jaya and Puchong.
“Previously, students participating in Sports Day or events such as District School Sports Council (MSSD) tournaments had to travel to venues in Petaling Jaya or Shah Alam.
“With this new facility, they will no longer need to travel to another city.
“If additional parking is required in the future, we will recommend that the city council make the necessary adjustments,” Lee added.
It was previously reported that the sports complex would feature three futsal courts, five badminton courts and a basketball court.
Additionally, the facility will also feature a FIFA-standard futsal court.
Outdoor facilities include a 270m-long jogging track, playground and ancillary building.
There will also be prayer rooms for men and women, eight public restrooms, two changing rooms with attached toilets, and a dedicated space for referees and event officials.
The complex was also reported to have an administrative office and rooms for VIPs and media personnel.
