The proposed construction of the one block new chapel in Bandar Seri Coalfields, initially rescheduled last year, has been delayed again due to several pending issues that are still to be resolved. These are expected to be settled or resolved in the coming months.
This new chapel to be built in Bandar Seri Coalfields is to replace the existing decades- old and dilapidated Chapel of St Anthony, situated in the flood prone area near Desa Coalfields, along Jalan Kuala Selangor.
Fr James Gabriel, the chapel administrator and parish priest of the Church of St. Paul the Hermit in Bestari Jaya, stated that following the client consultants meeting in January 2025, the architects have suggested a time line of three to four months for the preparation of tender documents. The tender is expected to be called in May or June 2025, with the award of the tender anticipated by July 2025. Construction could then begin, provided all outstanding issues are resolved by that time.
The construction is projected to take 18 months.The 800-seat capacity chapel is estimated to cost around RM7.5 million.
