This papers aims to discuss the establishment of a GIS-based technology as a planning tool in assisting local planning authority. The approach applied was extensively relied on baseline data, models, spatial and statistical analysis, establishing a prototype GIS system in predicting future environmental impacts.

The system consists of some selected key components of environment, ranging from water, floodplain to geological elements.

Consequently, it also carries the value of incorporating the complexity of wicked problems existed in urban planning into a technology-based device.
