Below are the summary of Gated Community and Guarded Neighborhood Planning Guidelines (GP022) by Malaysia Town Plan Department (Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa Semenanjung Malaysia)

1. The need to obtain a better level of security has attracted a population particularly in urban areas prefer residential schemes that offer a gated and guarded security system. Apart from the multi-storey residential scheme (high rise) strata-titles, landed residential development (landed property), which introduced the concept of Gated Community (GC) and Guarded Neighbourhood (GN) become popular choice and attract residents.

2. This has led to amendments to the Strata Freehold Act 1985 (Act 318) in 2007. The provisions of subsection 6 (1A) of the Act 318 permit landed residential scheme (landed), which is built on one main lot (master title) broken up into small parcels of land (land parcels) of land holdings in the strata title.

3. Apart from the existence GACOS which is basically consistent with the provisions of Act 318, GN schemes also form in areas of existing housing and new residential areas whether in urban or in the suburbs.

4. Since the growth of GC and GN scheme continued widespread in areas of existing and new housing, the formulation of guidelines for the control of its existence is necessary. The move will help the process of consideration of the application and enforcement of the GC scheme GN schemes by local authorities (PBT).

GC can be interpreted as a population group living in the gated and guarded either in multi-storey residential buildings (high-rise property) such as apartments, condominiums and townhouses in a residential area or landed (landed property), such as bungalows, terraced and detached houses. However, the understanding of the GC in the context of Malaysia focused on population groups or communities who live in strata-titled landed houses.

6. GN can be interpreted as a residential area controlled in whole or in part in schemes to existing or new housing that withholding the individual's right to land (individual land title). GN scheme to provide security services either with or without a guard. In terms of law, it cannot have physical barriers and to enforce any restrictions on entry and exit of the occupants and the public.

7. The general guidelines include aspects of planning control such as the placement location, minimum wide area, common property facilities, the construction of the wall / fence and the needs of Social Impact Assessment (SIA).
