The National Government Administrative Center (NGAC) is a 200ha mixed-used development situated in New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac. It will primarily host facilities for the Philippine government such as offices of various government agencies, government housing units, sport facilities and other support services facilities.[2] The area is owned and managed by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority.[3]
The area is part of New Clark City and is owned and managed by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority. The NGAC is being developed by AlloyMTD, the investment arm of Malaysian firm MTD Capital.
The planning for the NGAC began as early as September 2017 with the groundbreaking ceremony held on January 23, 2018.[2] Actual construction work began on March 15, 2018.[4] The Phase 1 of the development includes backup offices of various government agencies[2] as contingency in case a national calamity and disaster affect the capital, Manila[5] as well as a "one-stop-shop" for business enterprises in Central Luzon.[2]
Phase 1A of the development includes the construction of a sports complex consisting of a stadium with 20,100 seating capacity and an aquatics center with 2,000 seating capacity which is meant to be one of the venues of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games to be hosted by the Philippines.[6] It also includes two buildings which will host the Integrated Operations Center which includes a satellite office of the Office of the President of the Philippines and disaster and risk management agencies, a 500-unit condominium housing for government employees, and a river park.[7] Phase 1B involves the construction of additional government facilities.[2]
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority and the Supreme Court of the Philippines signed a memorandum of agreement in July 2019 regarding the construction of a building complex to host a regional office for the high court.[8]
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will relocate its security plant complex from East Avenue, Quezon City to New Clark City after it signed a memorandum of agreement with the BCDA in September 2019. The new currency production facility will be located at the 29-hectare land near the access road connecting New Clark City to the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway and it is expected to be completed within two years.[9]
