The Municipal area is considered small which covers about 4 square
kilometre. But there is a future planning to enlarge the Municipal area
as far as Penanjong to the North and to Serambangun on the South. Tutong
Municipal Board administers Tutong Town as the Commercial Centre for
Tutong District.
In 1921, Tutong Municipal Board began as The Sanitary Board and during
that time British Resident was the Chairman of the Board. And in 1970,
The Sanitary Board became Tutong Municipal Board headed by the Tutong
District Officer as the Chairman of the Board since then. Soon after
Brunei's Independence in January 1984, Tutong Municipal Board was placed
under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
