Planning for Miri Integrated Administration Centre Progresses — Future One-Stop Government Hub in Tanjung
Did you know that as Miri continues to grow as a city, plans are underway to develop a centralized administrative complex that will house multiple government agencies under one roof?
The project, known as the Miri Integrated Administration Centre (Pusat Pentadbiran Bersepadu Bahagian Miri), is set to become the city’s first major government administrative hub. In the future, many government departments are expected to be relocated to this single location, making it more convenient for the public to handle official matters.
The project is expected to be implemented under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13), with the aim of creating a modern government complex that integrates administrative offices, public services, and environmentally friendly building concepts.

Core Planning Features
1. One-Stop Government Service Centre
Around 20 government agencies are expected to operate within the complex, including:
• National Registration Department (JPN)
• Various administrative and public service departments
Currently, many government offices in Miri are scattered across different locations, with some operating from rented premises. Once the integrated centre is completed, it will significantly improve coordination between departments and allow the public to handle multiple government matters in one place.

2. Integrated Office and Parking Facilities
The project will adopt a high-rise integrated complex design, which includes:
• Government administrative office towers
• Multi-storey parking facilities
• Surface parking areas
• Supporting administrative infrastructure
The total parking capacity is expected to reach around 1,500 parking spaces, catering to both civil servants and visitors.
⸻
Green and Energy-Efficient Building Concept
The complex will incorporate modern sustainability features, including:
• Integration of solar energy systems
• Exploration of natural gas as part of the energy supply
• Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building design
• Lower long-term operational costs
This project could become a model for modern government infrastructure in Miri.

Government Housing Relocation
Originally, government staff housing was planned behind the administrative centre. However, geological and environmental assessments found that the land was located on a slope, making it unsuitable for development.
As a result, authorities have decided to relocate the housing project to the Jalan Bulan Sabit area to ensure long-term structural safety and stability.
⸻
Strategic Location: Tanjung Coastal Area
The project will be located in the Tanjung coastal area, a scenic part of Miri. The overall development plan includes:
• Front area: Integrated government administrative complex
• Rear area: Government staff housing (relocated to a different site)
This development is expected to form a new administrative core for Miri.

Significance for Miri’s Urban Development
Although Miri has already achieved city status, it still does not have a centralized administrative complex. This project is therefore considered an important step for the city’s future development.
Key benefits include:
1. Improving coordination among government departments
2. Providing more convenient public services for residents
3. Reducing inconvenience caused by scattered government offices
4. Creating a modern government working environment
5. Supporting development in the Tanjung area
6. Establishing a dedicated administrative hub for the city
7. Streamlining public service processes
8. Enhancing Miri’s urban infrastructure and city image

Looking Ahead
As Miri continues to expand, the need for a more efficient administrative system becomes increasingly important. If successfully implemented, the Miri Integrated Administration Centre could become the central hub for government operations in the city for decades to come.
From scattered offices to a centralized system, this project represents another step toward a more modern and efficient city administration.
Do you think the new Miri Integrated Administration Centre will make government services more convenient for the public in the future?
