Seberang Perai City Council

Seberang Perai City Council is the administrative body serving the mainland portion of Penang State across an area with both industrial and rural communities. It manages public services including tax administration, business licensing, and waste management for local residents.

The council was founded in 1976 through the merger of two earlier town councils and gained city status in 2019. This transformation reflects the area's growth and development over several decades.

The council works with people from different political backgrounds and community groups to make sure various voices shape local decisions. This collaborative approach influences how services are planned and how the area develops.

Residents can access municipal services through the council's online platform to handle tax payments and submit business license applications. Using these digital services works best during standard business hours when the office can provide support.

The council operates a recycling program with one of the highest rates in the country and runs a separate initiative that converts food waste into compost. These environmental efforts show a commitment to handling waste in ways that benefit the region.
