Jan 10, 2022
Mr Gan Thiam Poh: To ask the Minister for National Development (a) whether there are land parcels in Sengkang, Jalan Kayu and Punggol that are reserved for HDB development; and (b) if so, what is the potential supply of public housing in these areas.
Answer:
HDB works closely with URA and other agencies to plan and review the land use in HDB towns. Sengkang and Punggol have been progressively developed since the 1990s. As at 31 March 2021, there are about 122,000 HDB flats that are completed in Sengkang (including Jalan Kayu) and Punggol.
Based on the gazetted Master Plan 2019, there are parcels of land zoned as ‘Residential’ within Sengkang and Punggol which have not been developed yet, such as parts of Sengkang Fernvale area and the western and eastern parts of Punggol. These parcels are safeguarded for future residential developments, which include private housing, and community facilities.
Government agencies are reviewing the plans for these specific areas and will share more information when ready.
