Pulau Bunting is located in the district of Yan in Kedah. The 226-acre island is part of a cluster of four islands off the coast of Yan, alongside Pulau Song-Song, Pulau Telur and Pulau Bidan.

The development plan for Pulau Bunting was formulated to optimise the potential of the island and encourage private-driven projects to transform Yan from a solely agricultural district into a diversified major township, which will bring a new economic dimension into NCER.

Under this development, Pulau Bunting will be transformed into a hub for tourism, industrialised offshore aquaculture, petrochemical and renewable energy. Local communities will be encouraged to participate in economic activities, hence promoting inclusive growth.
