In 1999, Perak State Government (State) has appointed Pertubuhan Peladang Negeri Perak (PPNP) to become sole developer to develop an area of 1,934 acres of state land with a proviso of 50% being held by the state and another 50% be given to PPNP under alienation exercise by the state. The development is called “Rancangan Tanah Berkelompok (Dusun Buah-Buahan) Keramat Pulai� whereby PPNP has to plant orchard trees and the land must be subdivided into one acre portion each with a title attached and ready to be sold. The land is located in Keramat Pulai which is about 20km to the south of Ipoh City. It is unique by itself being located on the fringe of Ipoh township thus carrying the benefits of fringe town agriculture development. PPNP in discharging its role has to be agreeable with terms and conditions set out by the state, one of which is to develop the land from “scratch� to become economic viable. Being a developer PPNP has to undergo various stages of implementation from surveying the site, application of planning permissions, planting of orchard trees, conservation of environment to delivering of land titles. Since the government has alienated the land in 1999 and the project is still on going during this write up, therefore it is the main concern of this thesis to identify and discuss problems associated with development . All relevant government departments and agencies as well as private contractors involved in the project will be studied. This writing is classified by PPNP as restricted therefore all input of various data and information is derived internally i.e secondary data is used throughout. At the end of writing, problems associated with project implementation are identified and discussed to fulfill the objectives of this thesis. The writer also attempts to suggest future writing base on this thesis finding bearing in mind that this is a fringe town development which has vast potential ahead
