The low‐density infill development ‐will be allowed to moderate zones identified for housing am (15 units per acre), low density housing (6 units per acre), tourism pm / limited and business (the plot ratio of 1:1), the beauty of nature such as beaches resorts, mountains and forests will remain as a major asset in the development of this corridor. For TelokBahang, rural development and eco lancongwill be given focus with the Penang National Park as the main point. Development of local trade will be encouraged to support the tourism activities development in this corridor.
