Abstract

Development charges are a globally adopted concept to ease the burden on local governments due to urbanization. Implemented in countries like the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Canada, and South Africa, Malaysia follows suit with charges tied to increased land value. Based on structured interviews with 39 stakeholders, this study identifies key factors for effective implementation: legislation, human capital, work procedures, and support facilities. Participants highlight the need for streamlined approval processes and strategic integration among departments. Successful development charge implementation optimises land use, reducing infrastructure costs and benefiting public interests.
