Submit Your EOI
Instant
Once all six sections are complete and the application window is still open, click Submit to finalise your EOI. You will receive a unique reference number (KIP-EOI-YYYY-NNNN) confirming your submission.
- Submission only available while the application window is open
- All 6 sections must be completed
- Your reference number is generated automatically on submission
Technical Committee Review
~4 weeks
After the window closes, the Technical Committee (TC) reviews and scores all submitted EOIs. The TC may shortlist your application, request clarification, or mark it as not shortlisted. Shortlisted applications proceed to the Land Allocation Committee (LAC).
- TC reviews applications for completeness and technical merit
- You may be contacted for clarification
- Shortlisted applications proceed to LAC review
ExCo Decision & Land Allocation
~4–8 weeks after TC
The Land Allocation Committee makes a recommendation, which the Executive Committee (ExCo) ratifies. Successful investors receive a Letter of Intent (LOI) followed by a formal land lease agreement for their allocated plot.
- LAC approves or rejects applications reviewed by TC
- ExCo ratifies final allocation decisions
- Successful applicants receive a Letter of Intent
