在特别地区计划被宣布后，槟城植物园正朝成为世界植物遗产地的方向努力。
希望尽快开展这包括25个次要项目和7个主要项目的计划。
我们将开始的第一个项目是游客中心，其他6个主要项目包括植物保护和研究中心，马来西亚花道，花园购物中心和露天剧场的修复，以及观景台。
我希望我们能够成为下一个联合国教科文组织世界遗产植物园。
Penang Botanical Garden’s on track towards becoming World Botanical Heritage Site after Special Area Plan gazetted.
It is hoped that the plan which includes 25 micro projects and 7 macro projects will be undertaken as soon as possible.
The first project that we will concentrate on is the Visitor Centre, apart from the other 6 major projects which include the Plant Conservation and Research Centre, Malaysiana Boulevard, the restoration of the Garden Mall and Amphitheatre, and viewing tower decks.
I hope that we will be able to achieve our objective of becoming the next UNESCO World Heritage Botanical Garden Site.
Penang Botanic Gardens to undergo redevelopment and improvement
The Penang Botanic Gardens Department will build a multi-storey car park at the current food court that is located opposite its premises when the first of seven major projects, called the Central Visitor Centre, kicks off under the Penang Botanic Gardens Special Area Plan (SAP).
State Local Government, Housing, Town and Country Planning chairman Sdr Jagdeep Singh Deo said it was now time for the implementation of the plan which took a very long process before it was gazetted by the State Planning Committee on July 4.
“Towards that end, we have to materialise and realise whatever we had planned. The master plan covers the build up area of about 25 lawns, which we will give priority to seven priority projects in the SAP,” Sdr Jagdeep told a press conference at the Penang Botanic Gardens Department today.
“The multi-storey car park will help reduce congestion. We want to start work as soon as possible, with the Central Visitor Centre as the first project probably this year. It will entail quite some cost and we will work out the time frame.”
The seven major projects are divided into two categories – the Entrance Redevelopment and Frontage Enhancement and the Old Garden Improvement and Development.
Under the Entrance Redevelopment and Frontage Enhancement, the Central Visitor Centre will start off as Project 1, followed by Plant Conversation and Research Centre (Project 2), Malaysiana Boulevard (Project 3), Garden Mall Restoration (Project 4), Nature’s Amphitheatre (Project 5) while under the Old Garden Improvement and Development, there are two key projects, namely the Service Yard Facilities, Nursery and Irrigation System (Project 6) and Viewing Tower and Viewing Deck (Project 7).

植物园特别区域发展蓝图获批 佳日星：拟7发展计划及有望申遗
经过一番努力，槟城植物园特别区域发展蓝图（Rancangan Kawasan Khas Taman Botani）终于在7月4日完成宪报获得批准，并拟出7大发展计划，同时也有望申报为槟州的另一个世界遗产。
槟州地方政府、房屋、城市及乡村规划委员会主席佳日星同志今日召开记者会捎来上述好消息。
他说，槟城除了植物园之外，数项同样被纳入在特别区域蓝图中的计划还包括了升旗山和乔治市古迹区。
关于植物园的特别区域发展，他表示已经征询过了多名国内外专家的意见，因此所采纳的建议并非只源自本地。
他说，目前全球共有3个植物园被列入世界教科文组织的文化遗产名录，即伦敦、巴西和新加坡的植物园。而在这之前，有关当局也要邀请了这3个地方的植物园专家前来交流，其中来自新加坡的植物园园长为槟城植物园表示惊叹，认为可探讨将其列入世界遗产名录。
“他指槟城植物园有别于其他植物园，因为这里的植物园是自然形成而非人造的，再加上其背后就是升旗山，要纳入世界遗产绝对具有一定潜能。”
