The development of Kuala Belait in the 1980s and 1990s have involved the construction and development of the village. The Public Works Department (JKR) Kuala Belait Offices relocated to the village in the early 1990s. An area to the east of this was also developed for government residential housing at around the same time. An area to the east of the village was also gazetted as the Kuala Belait Light Industrial Area in the late 1990s. The development of the Kuala Belait port at Kampong Sungai Tujoh began at the turn of the millennium.
