The Land Custody and Development Authority, LCDA or Lembaga
Pembangunan dan Lindungan Tanah, (PELITA) was established in 1981 by the State
Government.
Its main objective is the pursuit of development, redevelopment, settlement and
resettlement of land mainly for economic and social development.
Since its inception in 1981, PELITA has succeeded in playing its catalystic role
as the government investment arm to spur economic growth and development in the
state.
Modus operandi
With its modus operandi of ‘smart partnership’ with private sector investors,
PELITA has been able to undertake both agricultural and property development
projects successfully.
As a semi-government agency PELITA also has its socio-economic commitment towards
the development of Sarawak.
PELITA has therefore undertaken projects such as the Bakun Resettlement Scheme,
Pandaruan Resettlement Scheme, infrastructure works for Resettlement schemes,
for example the Rampangi Resettlement Scheme, and RGC (Rural Growth Centres),
building of some civic centers, markets, etc.

In property development, PELITA has played a dynamic role in both the urban
and sub-urban centres.
As an impetus to economic growth in the sub-urban development, PELITA has developed
township projects with private developers on ‘smart partnership’ concept.
Examples of such development are the new townships in Mukah, Dalat, Tebedu (Bandar
Mutiara), Balingian, and Daro.
In sub-urban centers, PELITA has undertaken the development of new bazaars such
as in Pakan, redevelopment of Debak, Selangau Service Center, Selalang Service
Centre, Sebuyau, Bekenu, Betong Town Extension, Sarikei Town Extension, Pusa
Bazaar and others.
PELITA has also embarked on projects to complement the current demand for well-planned
city center.
Projects of such nature are the construction of multi-storey carparks, Saujana
Carpark and Medan PELITA, construction of mutli-storey office space such as
Menara PELITA, Wisma PELITA Tunku (in Miri), Wisma MAA, Wisma Satok and Limbang
Office Complex.
Tourism
In the effort to promote tourism, PELITA has also undertaken a few mega projects
incorporating residential-cum-resort concept such as the Borneo Heights Resort,
Riverine and Kasuma Resorts.
PELITA has also invested in a few hotels either on its own or in partnership
with the private sector.
PELITA’s wholly-owned hotels include the Rajah Court Hotel in Kuching, and the

Agriculture
On the agricultural front, PELITA has carried out major development projects
in both Native Customary Rights Land (NCR) and State Lands.
Under the NCR development concept, PELITA, playing an intermediary role, will
continue to pursue efforts to encourage the landowners to participate in the
development which will benefit them in the long run.
PELITA’s pioneer project in the NCR development is the Kanowit Oil Palm Plantation
which was implemented in 1997. Other projects are Sabal Kruin Oil Palm Plantation,
and the Raya Oil Palm Plantation.
Working hand in hand with other private investors and plantation houses either
from Peninsular Malaysia or locally, PELITA has also established other joint
venture projects such as the Sarawak Oil Palm Plantation, Loagan Bunut Plantations,
Gedong Oil Palm Plantation amongst others.
PELITA has also undertaken large-scale sago plantations in Mukah Division and
Dalat. To strenghten its effort in sago development, PELITA has set up a research
center called CRAUN Research Sdn Bhd to carry out research in sago.
Concurrently PELITA is also networking with other Government departments and
private investors on ways and means to improve the cultivation of the crop.
To diversify the agro industry business, PELITA is currently intensifying its
effort into food crop and aqua-culture. Two areas are currently being developed
into Food Production zone and Aquaculture areas.
These areas are in Baram for food production and in Telaga Air for prawn aqua-culture.
Opportunities
Notwithstanding the above, PELITA still has acres of land for both agriculture
and property development in joint venture with private investors.
Opportunities are always opened to those who have the necessary technical expertise
and experience, capital and interest in undertaking development projects with
the Authority.
