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 of 168.3 km2 and consists of seven sub-districts: 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.
