Major Planning Issues
Water Supply Approximately 16 – 20 million litres per day (mld) obtained
from Sandakan boreholes and river intakes. An extra 60 mld is obtained from Kinabatangan District. Total 76 mld.Source: 1st Spatial Planning Task Force 2nd April 2002.
A decision needs to be made on how to protect the recharge and escarpment areas for the boreholes close to the town centre or whether to rely even more on Kinabatangan in future for the increased demand.
Needs of Kinabatangan District also to be considered: both urban and rural demand.

Major Planning Issues
Dump Site Management Problems (lack of funding means no topsoil
covering or supervision) Large area remaining (10 out of 100 hectares used) New area would suffer from same management problems Long-term future site to be identified

Major Planning Issues
BDC Potential to transform the former
settlement (and its foreshore) into a showcase development in a strategic growth area
Plans could include a reclaimed area with pedestrian seaside promenade linking commercial, residential & entertainment activities.
Possible ideas include Theme Park and/or Aquarium.
Hotels could include convention facilities as a future attraction.

central treatment plant (50,000 persons) New developments should incorporate waste
water treatment and disposal Longer term policy to sewer all existing

Future Economic Base
Nature TourismSepilok Forest Reserve and Safari Walk, Fish Ponds, Selingan Island, Berhala, Labuk Resort, Batu Sapi. Gateway to Sukau, Gomantong, Batu Putih (Kinabatangan)
Historical TourismAustralian Memorial Park, Agnes Keith’s House, Places of Worship, Historical Trail.
TourismPotential to keep visitors here for several days.
Requires more marketing & support from tour operators and KK/chain hotels. Develop a major theme park or other types of recreational activity?
EducationPotential for Tertiary Education. Research Institutes (Agriculture, Marine). Universities and Polytechnics.
SkillsNeed to keep skilled people in Sandakan and encourage more to settle. Require appropriate employment. Need to link skill development to Sandakan opportunities and activities.
Gateway RoleFor Tourism (Sandakan, east coast islands and Kinabatangan), Trade (eg. BIMP-EAGA), Education (to develop and share skills). Fisheries Centre.

Future Economic Base
Oil PalmMore than 40% of the District is already covered by oil palm.There is potential to increase the value added processing in the area. Dangers of a one-crop economy. Tourism links with tours of oil palm mills.
AgricultureDiversification into other cash and food crops. Forest products? Organic Farming? Local specialities. Reputation for exotic fish. Offshore fishing links with tourism.
SupportNeed to develop roads, hospitals (public and private), improved solid waste disposal to encourage facilities and industry etc. Better regional infrastructure, including improved port access.
New MarketsSandakan is a small market for goods and services. Any new enterprises will need new Asian and overseas markets. Tourism needs to be promoted more widely and more selectively.

Development Alternatives
Sandakan General Structure Plan 2000 (completed 1984) is still valid.
Strategic guidance for the development of Sandakan.
Three alternative spatial patterns Satellite growth (decentralisation) Linear growth (along Labuk Road) Consolidated growth (infill & expansion)

Environmental Local Planning (ELP) ProjectTown and Regional Planning Department, Sabah Danida, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Alternative 1: Satellite Growth
Advantages All development is new so benefits from comprehensive planning Land costs low as satellite in rural area; When developed it would bring services closer to rural hinterland; Reduced congestion overall if employment attracted to satellite.
Disadvantages Difficulties in attracting population and employment (commuting); Existing area needs to be already “full up” to provide the push; Expensive/long work journeys if it becomes a “dormitory” town. Expensive and extensive new infrastructure/services

Alternative 2: Linear Growth
Advantages Ribbon development like a string of beads Cost efficient on provision of infrastructure Easily served by mass public transport;
Disadvantages Focuses all attention on one road to exclusion of others; Length of time for journeys & potential for congestion; Centre replaced by a series of sub-centres (no centre of
attraction)

Alternative 3 : Consolidated Growth
Advantages Does not depend on minimum population as basic infrastructure
and services already provided; Current private development expectations are not frustrated; Travel to work/shops/facilities minimised for majority of residents; Cost efficient use of existing infrastructure.
Disadvantages Difficult/expensive to find good sites for schools/other facilities; Planning for low-cost housing conflicts with owner aspirations; Phasing difficult as development random & covers whole town.

The Future for Sandakan?
First Protect what is Important
Produce a Balanced Plan with Space for All
Different Strategy = Different Developments

Opportunities
SepilokMore use of Sepilok Laut Chalets and the forest walk.(day and night).
Need to continue protection of the area and avoid overuse. Links to both Labuk Road and Sandakan Bay.
Growth AreasPotential to develop new areas to the north and west of Sandakan. See the Board covering Alternatives. Proposals need to ensure that new areas have a focus rather than being urban sprawl. The current Structure Plan (shown here) examined this option in 1984.
Historical SitesThere is increasing visitor interest in history and culture which can also serve to educate local people.

Sandakan BayPotential to develop the Bay and its shoreline for tourism activities. Possible restaurants, sunset cruises, more use of water links to Sepilok and Sukau. Need to retain the remaining mangrove buffer shown (dark red) on the satellite picture opposite.
OpportunitiesTurtle IslandsNeed to analyse and group islands into those which can accommodate growth and those which should be protected. A range of zoning options could be developed allowing different activities.
Kinabatangan AreaAlthough not part of the Sandakan District Plan, any proposals for the area will have a major impact on Sandakan’s role as the gateway to the Kinabatangan.
