Question No: 5890

Question by: Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song

To ask the Minister for National Development whether management corporations of strata title developments are allowed to use management or sinking funds for the construction of sheltered walkways from their development to the nearest bus stop for the safety and convenience of their residents.

Answer:

          A Management Corporation for a strata development may use its funds to construct sheltered walkways within the boundary of the strata-titled development. There are no provisions in the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act for a Management Corporation to use its funds for works located outside its development boundary.

For the construction of sheltered walkways outside of their development boundaries, Management Corporations may approach the Land Transport Authority, which will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis.
