Location for Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre in Gombak

In order to determine a suitable location for building a national Communicable Disease Quarantine Centre, the selected site must 1) be located at Gombak planning subzone , and 2) it must meet the four decision factors:

  • Economic factor: The selected site should avoid steep slope to prevent additional development costs such as cut-and-fill of land.
  • Accessibility factor: The selected site should be close in proximity to existing local roads, namely: service roads and tracks. This is to ensure easy transportation of building materials during the construction stage.
  • Health risk factor: The selected site should be away from population i.e. housing areas and offices in order to avoid disease spreading to the nearby population.
  • Natural conservation factor: The selected site should be away from forested land, park and water.

Below is an overview of Gombak's features.
