KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has given the green light for the reclamation of the state's iconic Tanjung Aru beachfront but has to come out with development plans under the Tanjung Aru Eco Development (TAED) project.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor confirmed that the government has agreed to a 15-year contract to mine and dredge sand for the reclamation of the beachfront in efforts to widen it.
