South Economic Development Region #5: Where is Iskandar Development Region (IDR)?



Many have this mis-perception saying that Iskandar Development Region is Nusajaya. This is wrong, as Nusajaya is having approximately 10,000 hectares of development land, and is only one portion of the whole IDR planning.

The whole IDR covers areas the following areas:
(1) The whole Johor Bahru District
- Majlis Bandaran Johor Bahru
- Majlis Perbandaran JB Tengah

(2) Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Pasir Gudang

(3) Majlis Perbandaran Kulai

(4) Part of Pontian
- Mukim Jeram Batu
- Mukim Sg. Karang
- Mukim Serkat

The above gives us a total area covered of 2,217km sq.

And all developments will be concentrated at the following existing urban areas:
(1) Johor Bahru city
(2) Pasir Gudang
(3) Nusa Jaya
(4) Senai-Kulai

I hope i've given you all a better picture on where does IDR actually covers.
