The Bandar Baharu District (colloquially Bandaq Baqhu or Bandaq Baru; once proposed to be renamed as Bandar Crustacea[3]) is a town, district and state assembly constituency at the southernmost end of Kedah, Malaysia. Bandar Baharu is located along the Kedah-Penang–Perak border tripoint, 37 km (23 mi) southeast of George Town, Penang's capital city.
Due to its proximity to Penang, Bandar Baharu is considered to be part of Greater Penang, Malaysia's second largest conurbation. The town's logistical needs are met by Penang's transportation infrastructure.
The Bandar Baharu District Council (Majlis Daerah Bandar Baharu, MDBB) administers the whole district. It covers an area as wide as 169.3 km2 and consists of seven sub-districts which are Serdang, Kuala Selama, Sungai Batu, Bagan Samak, Permatang Pasir, Sungai Kecil Ilir and Relau. Serdang, a 20 km drive away from the actual Bandar Baharu town, is the administrative town of Bandar Baharu district. It is the southernmost and second smallest local government area in Kedah.
The district borders the South Seberang Perai district to the east, the Larut, Matang and Selama and Kerian districts in the south and the Kulim district to the north.

Tourism And Recreation
- Seri Tasik Park
- This park was originally an inactive mine which was then developed as a recreation garden as it was situated in the midst of Serdang town. Currently, this area consists of a children playground and exercise equipment. The budget was allocated from National Landscaping Department. The district council has also received budget from Ministry of Culture, Art and Tourism of Malaysia to upgrade present components. This includes building a new wakaf (traditional wooden pavilion); providing picnic tables and chairs; building concrete bridges to link two lakes; pedestrian pathway; and decorative lights around the park.
