Sep 11, 2017
Ms Cheng Li Hui: To ask the Minister for National Development
(a) over the last five years, what is the number of older HDB multi-storey car parks that have been installed with lifts;
(b) what is the number of car parks earmarked for future lift installations; and
(c) what is the cost of such installations and subsequent maintenance of the lifts?
Answer:
Over the last 5 years, HDB has completed lift installation works for 510, or about 94%, of the 544 older HDB multi-storey car parks (MSCP) without lifts. Works are planned or already on-going to the remaining 34 car parks, to ensure that they are fitted with lifts or other barrier-free access solutions, such as ramps.
The average cost to install a lift in an MSCP is about $350,000, while the average maintenance cost is about $13,000 per year.
