Currently, the southern parts of Punggol are developed, mostly with HDB flats. There are ongoing projects to build a town centre, supposedly with an air-conditioned bus interchange. A man-made canal called Punggol Waterway was built, connecting the Serangoon Reservoir and Punggol Reservoir. Many developments are proposed to be built along the canal, such as shopping centres and many more HDB flats. There will be recreation clubs, community centres, sports clubs, polyclinics and many others, attracting many people to live and visit Punggol. There are plans to develop Punggol Point, which currently only has a beach. It will propose to have a seafood restaurant and maybe more HDB flats in the near vicinity. More parking lots are under construction, and this will attract many people to the presently remote beach. The northwest of Punggol will be developed and the West Loop of the Punggol LRT Line will be in operation, serving the area.

Kampong Bugis

Announced during the 2017 Budget, Kampong Bugis is a new waterfront development zone in Singapore, which will be given to a master developer, giving flexibility in planning the town layouts as opposed to carving each land plot by itself. [100] The area will comprise approximately 4,000 private residential units, primarily served by Lavender MRT station, Kallang MRT station, and Bendemeer MRT station. Kallang Riverside Park will also be redeveloped into a waterfront park as part of the plan. [136] [137]

Tanjong Rhu

Unveiled by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on 25 August 2023, existing residential land plots in Tanjong Rhu have been re-parcelled and re-ratioed into three plots totaling 12 hectares. The land plots are able to cater over 5,000 new residential units. There are also plans to widen nearby roads to meet the increase traffic contributed by the new homes in the area. A new park by the Geylang River will be built in between two of the plots. [138]

As it has been more than a decade since the last launch of new homes in the area, the three land plots will be able to support housing demand in Tanjong Rhu. [138]

The precinct will begin to be developed from 2021. [137]

Marina South

First announced as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan 2014, [141] the future 21.5-hectare Marina South precinct will house over 9,000 private residential units built next to Gardens by the Bay. The precinct is envisioned to be a car-lite and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood. Retail shops and community facilities/amenities will be located at street level, followed by residences above, for increased convenience. [114] [142]

Major arterial roads in the area will also be realigned to create "wind corridors" where winds during the monsoon seasons will be funneled into the area. Future buildings in the precinct will also feature varying heights to channel air downwards to the surface. Each building will also be located further apart for better ventilation. All of these would facilitate better wind flow, resulting in a lower ambient temperature and comfort for those in the precinct. [141]

On 12 January 2022, it was announced that the upcoming Marina South MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT line will remain closed until surrounding housing developments are completed. [143]

The existing private golf club will be replaced by approximately 9,000 Housing and Development Board (HDB) and private residential units when its lease expires in 2021. [153]

Public housing units in the prime area will be using a new pricing model to lessen the effect where owners sell their units at much higher prices than initially purchased at subsidised rates from the Housing and Development Board (HDB). [154]

Dover Forest

Announced by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on 30 July 2021, the revised development plan for the 33-hectare (82-acre) Dover Forest, located in Queenstown, will see the approximately 11-hectare eastern half of the forest be developed for public housing while the western half of the forest will be temporarily preserved due to its rich biodiversity. [155] [156]

The eastern half of the forest will feature five hectares of greenery, including a park with a natural stream. Also, housing blocks will be designed to take into consideration the existing Ulu Pandan canal, which will be upgraded. For example, blocks nearer to the canal will be lower than the rest of the development to achieve a tiered effect and maximise views of the canal. A commercial development housing amenities will be built near Dover MRT station to provide a link between the station and the developed area. [155] [156]

Plans for the western half of the forest will be reviewed in 2030 when further development is required. However, a portion of it will be safeguarded as a nature park. [155]

In addition, as Singapore's first car-lite HDB precinct, the new estate will see roads placed only along its perimeter, away from pedestrain walkways and cycling paths. [157]

The estate was launched in 2022 with its first Build-to-Order (BTO) housing project named Ulu Pandan Banks. [158]

Dakota Crescent

To be redeveloped into a mixed-use precinct, the existing Dakota Crescent area will be largely revitalised with new public housing developments planned around six preserved Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) blocks and the iconic dove playground that were built in the 1950s. Although not formally gazetted for conservation, the central cluster of SIT-built blocks will be retained and repurposed for civic and community uses due to their historical significance as one of Singapore's first public housing projects built before the formation of the current Housing and Development Board (HDB). [159] [160] [161]

All residents previously residing in the 17 low-rise SIT blocks have vacated in 2017. [162]

On 7 June 2017, it was announced by then-Second Minister for Transport Ng Chee Meng that the North-East Line extension was to open in 2023, a few years ahead of the expected opening date of 2030. The single station extension will span 1.6 km (1 mi) and will serve the future Punggol North area. The station is tentatively called Punggol Coast MRT station. [211]

On 13 November 2020, Minister of Transport Ong Ye Kung announced that the station would be completed in 2024 instead due to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. This comes even as works progressed to 40% completion with the tunnels finished. [212] [213]

Hume MRT Station (DT4)

Initially built as a "shell station" as part of the Downtown line Phase 2, Hume MRT Station (DT4), located between Beauty World MRT station and Hillview MRT station, will be opened by 2025 when the surrounding areas of Upper Bukit Timah and Hume Avenue are built up with new developments. [214] [215] The station has since started construction on 28 February 2021.

Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub

Set to begin construction in the second quarter of 2021, the upcoming Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub will house community and civic institutions, a 27-storey office tower, and the new Jurong East Bus Interchange. It will also feature a 90-metre sky bridge above the existing train viaducts, connecting the office tower to an 8-storey podium block. Situated at Jurong East MRT station, the integrated transport hub will provide direct connectivity and more convenient transfers between the North South line, East West line, and the upcoming Jurong Region line. [216]

The integrated transport hub is scheduled to be completed by 2027. [216]

Tuas Mega Port

The S$20 billion Tuas Mega Port started its first phase of construction in 2016, [217] with the second phase in 2019. [218] To be opened in four stages from 2021, the port will consolidate all existing port operations at Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Panjang, Keppel, and Pulau Brani, and centralise it in the Tuas Terminal from 2027. When fully operational, the port can potentially handle a capacity of about 65 million TEUs a year, double of the current capacity. New technologies will be employed to increase productivity. [219]

Approximately twice the size of Ang Mo Kio town, when fully operational in 2040, the Tuas Mega Port will be the world's largest fully automated terminal, with features such as automated wharf and yard functions, and fully-electric automated guided vehicles to carry out its key operations. The project broke ground on 3 October 2019. [220]

To optimise land use, an area for leisure purposes is currently under study. The plan is to construct a 150-hectare (370-acre) area that will be elevated 42 metres above ground to house recreational amenities such as cafes, retail stores, and a jogging track. Large retail outlets such as Tesco and Decathlon are being considered to bring in weekend crowds. The area will be partly opened for public use and its accessibility will be greatly improved if plans for the Tuas South MRT Extension on the East West line come into fruition. [221]

Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC)

The first in Southeast Asia, the upcoming 50-hectare Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC) will be equipped to test the rail systems of Singapore 24/7, without causing any disruptions to regular passenger services. This will free up the already-limited engineering hours on the existing train lines for other crucial activities such as maintenance and renewal works. It will house an operations control centre, testing equipment, and test track for performance integration, and endurance and high speed testing for new trains and supporting systems. For major refurbishment of existing trains, the centre will also contain a rolling stock workshop, stabling tracks, and maintenance tracks. [222]

The centre, located at the former Raffles Country Club in Tuas, will begin operations in phases, with the first phase to be completed by 2023 to receive new trains and test systems for the Circle line Stage 6. It is expected to be fully operational by 2025. [222]

East Coast Integrated Depot

To be the first in the world to integrate three train depots and a bus depot within a single site when completed, the upcoming S$3.2 billion East Coast Integrated Depot will occupy approximately 36 hectares (89 acres) of land. [223] [224] In total, the depot will have a storage capacity of 220 trains and 760 buses. The building will be using a stacked approach, stacking three independently operated train depots above one another. The Downtown line depot will be located underground, followed by the Thomson-East Coast line depot on ground level and the East West line depot on the level above it. On the other hand, the adjacent three-storey bus depot will house workshops on the first level with the remaining two levels being parking bays. The integrated design will save 44 hectares (110 acres) of land and S$2 billion as compared to constructing four separate depots. [223]

The depot is scheduled to be completed by 2025. [223]

Pasir Panjang Bus Depot

Announced by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on 16 August 2023, a new bus depot will be built on the existing 4-hectare Pasir Panjang Distripark site to support bus operations in Southern Singapore. With a capacity of over 500 buses, the depot will house a seven-storey building fitted with electric bus chargers and solar panels, workers' quarters, and other ancillary buildings. [225]

The bus depot is expected to be completed by 2029. [225]

Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040)

Announced on 25 May 2019, the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040) reveals the long-term plans to meet the transport needs of Singaporeans over the next two decades. [226]

Two new stations will be added on the North South line. Brickland MRT station, to be located between Choa Chu Kang MRT station and Bukit Gombak MRT station, will serve residents living in the surrounding areas and the upcoming Tengah New Town. Sungei Kadut MRT station, to be located between Yew Tee MRT station and Kranji MRT station, will serve industries in the area as well as the upcoming Sungei Kadut Eco-District. Both stations are scheduled to be opened by the mid-2030s. [226] [227]

The Downtown line will be extended to the future Sungei Kadut MRT station. This will result in the terminus to be shifted from the current Bukit Panjang MRT station to Sungei Kadut MRT station. It will interchange with the North South line. The extension is scheduled to operational by the mid-2030s, when the Sungei Kadut MRT station is completed. [227]

The Thomson-East Coast line will also be extended, with an additional MRT station serving the future Changi Airport Terminal 5. The current East West line branch from Tanah Merah MRT station to Changi Airport MRT station will also be converted and linked up as part of the Thomson-East Coast line extension. The extension is scheduled to be completed by 2040. [226]

A new MRT line that is being proposed as part of the master plan is currently under study. If feasible, it will run between Woodlands and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, serving parts of Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon North, Whampoa, and Kallang along the way. [228]

Other than the MRT network, more Transit Priority Corridors (TPC) and Integrated Transport Hubs (ITH) will be built to improve the bus network and its connectivity. Overall, the LTMP 2040 aims to ensure the land transport system of Singapore is more seamless and convenient, inclusive, safer, and cleaner. [228]

Tampines Walking and Cycling Town

After Ang Mo Kio, Tampines will be the second walking and cycling town in Singapore when works to improve the town's infrastructure are completed. The total length of cycling paths in Tampines will be three times more than the current length. Furthermore, footpaths will be widened and roads will be redesigned and rebuilt. The existing cycling paths in the town will also be widened, while existing bicycle crossings will have additional signs and markings. All of these aim to make walking and cycling within the town safer and more convenient. [229] [230]

A new project by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) was launched in July 2022 to add another 8 kilometres of cycling paths in Tampines to better connect its residents to the town centre. This includes a cycling bridge over the Tampines Expressway (TPE) to connect Tampines and Pasir Ris, and a cycling underpass to connect Tampines and Simei. [231]

PIE Cycling Link

Announced by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on 5 October 2023, a cycling bridge over the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) will be built near St Andrew's Junior School. Set to be Singapore's longest elevated cycling bridge, the 682-metre bridge is part of the Bishan-to-city cycling route to reduce commuting time for cyclists to the city. [232]

The bridge, expected to be completed by 2027, will feature resting areas and a lift that can fit wheelchairs and cyclists with their bicycles. [232]

Expansion of Sengkang Depot

Announced by the Land Transport Authority on 5 February 2021, Sengkang Depot, specifically the depot for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines, will be expanded from 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) to 11.1 hectares (27 acres) to cater for the upcoming fleet expansion of both LRT lines. Situated above the North East MRT line's depot, the expansion will include a new train stabling area, a maintenance workshop, and three new traction power stations. Two reception tracks will also be built to shorten the train launching time. [233]

Construction began in end-2022 and is scheduled to be completed by 2027. [233]

Realignment of Merpati Road

Located near Mattar MRT station, the existing one-way Merpati Road will be realigned and expanded to a dual two-lane road going in each direction to prepare for future residential developments in the surrounding area. Aside from Merpati Road, the adjacent Jalan Anggerek will also be realigned. [234]

The roadworks are expected to be completed by December 2026, after three blocks of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats along Merpati Road are demolished by 2024. [234]

Healthcare

SGH Campus Master Plan

Unveiled on 5 February 2016, the 43-hectare Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Campus at Outram will be redeveloped and expanded over the next two decades. Patient care facilities will take up 60% of the land, with the remaining 40% dedicated to research and education purposes anchored by the Duke-NUS Medical School and a new Research Park. The master plan will be carried out in two phases. Phase 1 includes new developments such as the already-completed Outram Community Hospital, SGH Accident & Emergency Block, SGH Elective Care Centre, a new National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS), and a new National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS). After the completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will begin with the development of an entirely new SGH complex. [235]

The road network within the campus will also be improved and extended with increased road capacity to provide better connectivity between the developments. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be separated to allow faster access for ambulances and patients while easing congestion on the campus. To improve accessibility and convenience for patients and visitors, facilities with high patient volume such as the new NDCS and NCCS and the new SGH complex will be relocated closer to Outram Park MRT station. [235]

Health City Novena

Unveiled on 30 August 2013, the 17-hectare (42-acre) Health City Novena is an upcoming integrated healthcare complex that will physically link up 10 buildings including, the Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), a medical school, and public and volunteer healthcare facilities in the area. The master plan includes an Ambulatory Centre at TTSH, the already-completed National Centre for Infectious Disease (NCID), an expanded National Skin Centre and National Healthcare Group headquarters, and a new Integrated Intermediate Care Hub (IICH) comprising Dover Park Hospice and a community hospital that will be connected to TTSH and Ren Ci Hospital for seamless patient transfers. [236] [237]

Other than offering a full range of holistic care experiences, Health City Novena will also encompass health services, research and education, commercial, leisure, and public spaces. [238]

The entire development is expected to be completed by 2030. [238]

Woodlands Health Campus

Broken-ground on 18 April 2017, the 7.66-hectare (18.9-acre) Woodlands Health Campus is an upcoming 1,800-bed healthcare facility in Woodlands to be managed by the National Healthcare Group. It will house an acute hospital, a community hospital, a nursing home, and specialist outpatient clinics. The acute and community hospitals will be housed in the same building, a first in Singapore, to share medical professionals and seamlessly transfer patients between the two hospitals. The specialist outpatient clinics will be housed in a separate block, connected to the main building via a link bridge. [239] The nursing home, together with a senior care centre, will be operated by Ren Ci Hospital. [240]

The campus will be utilising smart technology such as data analytics and artificial intelligence to improve patient care and reduce manual work. Robots will also be used to automate back-of-house operations. [239]

Vast green spaces will also be included within the campus, such as a 1.5-hectare (3.7-acre) Healing Forest Garden which offers open spaces, plots for community gardening, and quiet areas. The garden is Singapore's first parkland that is purpose-built for patient healing. There will also be Therapeutic Gardens in between the healthcare blocks. [241]

The campus, directly connected to Woodlands South MRT station via exit 5, is expected to be completed and opened in phases from the end of 2023. [239]

Serangoon Polyclinic

Announced on 8 December 2019, Serangoon Polyclinic is an upcoming polyclinic located opposite NEX Shopping Mall in Serangoon. It will be part of an integrated healthcare facility that will also house an active ageing hub and a kidney dialysis centre. The polyclinic will be providing similar services offered at other polyclinics nationwide. [242]

When completed by 2025, Serangoon Polyclinic will be the largest polyclinic in Singapore by floor area. [243]

Eastern Integrated Health Campus

Announced on 5 March 2020, there will be a new integrated hospital in the east of Singapore to ease the load on the existing Changi General Hospital (CGH) - currently the only hospital in the east. The new hospital will be Singapore's 12th public general hospital and is to be managed by SingHealth. [244] The general hospital will provide emergency services alongside inpatient and specialist outpatient services, while the community hospital will provide intermediate services such as rehabilitation to support patients who are discharged from the general hospital. [245]

Scheduled to be operational by 2030, the campus will be located next to Bedok North MRT station. [245]

Redevelopment of Alexandra Hospital

Announced on 5 March 2020, Alexandra Hospital will be redeveloped and expanded from 12.2 hectares (30 acres) to 13.1 hectares (32 acres). The redevelopment will allow for greater accessibility from Queensway, and house more spaces for trials on new care models. It will also place focus on preserving the hospital's history and heritage, where conserved Blocks 1, 2, and 6 will be retained. [244]

The first phase of redevelopment is estimated to be completed by 2030. [244]

Refurbishment of Mount Elizabeth Hospital

Named "Project Renaissance", the refurbishment of Mount Elizabeth Hospital at Orchard will cost approximately S$350 million and take three years to complete. The project will see a new drop-off area and hospital lobby, upgrades to the hospital's equipment and existing technology, and an expansion to the emergency department and treatment centres. [246] [247]

The refurbishment works will be carried out in phases with certain services being temporarily relocated to minimise disruptions. [246] [247]

Proposed dementia care village

Announced on 16 July 2019, Singapore will be building its first dementia care village to care for dementia patients and improve their quality of life and residential options available to them. The special village will be built on a site in Gibraltar Crescent near Sembawang Park. The site houses 10 cluster bungalows, which are to be remained, across two land plots. Other than providing a safe, home-like environment, the village will also offer customised services and programmes to foster meaningful and active interaction among its residents. [248]

On 19 May 2020, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has rejected the sole tender of the site as the bid of S$15 million was deemed to be too low. [249]

Even though there are no bids for the Sembawang site, Perennial won a tender for a private assisted living development at Parry Avenue in Kovan that can house approximately 400 seniors. [250] [251]

Education

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Punggol Campus

Part of the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD), the currently-under-construction Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus in Punggol will consolidate all degree programmes offered by the university under one campus. Currently, the university is located in a main campus at Dover and five satellite campuses in polytechnics across the island. [252] The new 91,000 square-metre centralised campus in Punggol will have a capacity of up to 12,000 students. [253]

The campus will be co-located with the new JTC business park to foster greater student-industry collaboration. SIT and JTC have exchanged 8,000 square metres of space, allowing industry partners to operate within the SIT campus, and student attending classes in the JTC buildings. [253] Buildings of both developments will be linked by a Collaboration Loop. [102]

Aside from auditoriums and indoor sports facilities, two 10-storey academic blocks will house classrooms, laboratories, and group learning spaces linked by an elevated canopy walk. An 11-storey Admin Block will house approximately 2,200 administrative staff and faculty, while another 10-storey building, named the Learning Hub, will be fitted with a solar panel roof, where energy generated will be transferred into the grid which integrates gas, electricity, and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. The entire development will be the first university in South-east Asia to have a multi-energy micro grid network that draws energy from various sources. [102]

The ground level spaces of the campus will also accessible to the general public. [102] Aside from a market village and a foodcourt facing the waterfront, [102] 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) of an existing forest along Punggol Road will be conserved to create a forest courtyard, giving the campus a distinctive 'campus-in-a-park' identity. The existing Punggol Road will also be transformed into a 1.3 km heritage trail, running through the campus and to the waterfront. [253] [102]

The campus, estimated to cost more than S$1 billion, is now expected to be completed by 2024. [253]

Ngee Ann Kongsi Building (Expansion of LASALLE College of the Arts)

A new S$50 million, 20,000 square-metre 12-storey block, directly connected to Rochor MRT station, will be built on a 6,000-square-metre (65,000 sq ft) site adjacent to the existing LASALLE College of the Arts McNally Street campus to centralise the school's facilities. With the expansion, students will not need to travel to different campuses for classes. The expansion will include new facilities such as a 300-seat lecture theatre, a music recital hall, a film studio, and new public galleries. The new building, to be built with the S$50 million donation from Ngee Ann Kongsi, will also feature a glass facade that opens out to Rochor Canal Road. [254]

Construction will begin from 2021 and is expected to be completed by 2025. [254]

Attractions

Mandai Nature Project

Currently under construction outside the Nature Reserves, the 126-hectare (310-acre) Mandai Nature Precinct will be majorly rejuvenated. Jurong Bird Park will be relocated from its current site at Jurong and rejuvenated in the new precinct with a new name - Bird Paradise, as well as an addition of a new park named Rainforest Wild. [255]

When fully completed, the precinct will be home to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and Rainforest Wild. [255]

The new 17-hectare Bird Paradise will allow visitors to observe free-flying birds in their natural habitats at the nine new aviaries themed with different landscapes from around the world, such as wetlands, bamboo forests, and rainforests. It will also house a breeding and research facility to increase the populations of endangered species. Bird Paradise has sinced opened in May 2023. [256] [257] [255]

The new 12.5-hectare Rainforest Wild, which aspires to be an authentic representation of a rainforest, will allow visitors to go on aerial walkways that extend from the forest floor to the treetop canopies, or relax in the cool forest in suspended pods. [256] [257]

Home-grown hospitality group, Banyan Tree, has been appointed to develop and operate the eco-resort, which will be built on a 4.6-hectare (11-acre) site currently housing the Singapore Zoo's back-of-house facilities. The 338-room resort will provide guests with an "immersive stay close to nature" and an "unprecedented access" to nature during their stay. Other than standard and family rooms, the resort will also offer elevated cabins and treehouses. Guests will also be able to go on guided nature walks, native wildlife spotting tours, and workshops. The resort will adopt an environmentally design and construction, and operate along sustainable principles. When completed, the resort will be Singapore's first Super Low Energy resort. [258] [259]

Two arrival nodes, namely West Arrival Node and East Arrival Node, will also be constructed to welcome visitors into the entire precinct. The West Arrival Node will include a breath-taking view of a waterfall set amidst a "luxuriantly-landscaped" cavern. It will also feature a landscaped deck to connect visitors between the two new wildlife parks. The node has sinced opened as Mandai Wildlife West in May 2023, along with Bird Paradise. The East Arrival Node, which is envisioned as a forest courtyard, will feature a synergy of nature and architecture. It will serve as the arrival and entry point for the existing three attractions, a nature-themed indoor attraction and the Banyan Tree resort. The East Arrival Node will also house a basement transportation hub, creating a vehicle-free environment at surface level for public performances and events. [260]

Public spaces with no admission charges, such as nature trails, boardwalks, outdoor seating, and playgrounds will also be added. [257]

On 13 October 2021, Mandai Wildlife Group introduced a rebranding of the five parks, unveiling new logos and the renaming of River Safari and Jurong Bird Park to River Wonders and Bird Paradise, respectively. [255]

The 5-in-1 eco-tourism hub is scheduled to be fully completed in an environmentally-sustainable and sensitive manner by 2024. [255]

Expansion of Integrated Resorts

Announced on 3 April 2019, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be expanded, with the plans costing S$9 billion. [261] [262]

Marina Bay Sands (MBS)

The MBS will build a new 15,000-seat indoor entertainment arena, as well as a fourth tower containing 587 hotel all-suite rooms, a sky roof with a swimming pool and a "signature restaurant". New ballrooms, exhibition halls will be built with food and beverage options to expand. The tower will be located next to the existing development. [262]

The timeline of the expansion has been announced by the URA to be completed latest by April 8, 2028. [263]


Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)

The RWS will have two new attractions, Minion Land and Super Nintendo World, at Universal Studios Singapore. The existing S.E.A. Aquarium will expand thrice its current size and be rebranded as the Singapore Oceanarium. [262]

In addition, RWS will also add two new hotels with a total capacity of 1,100 rooms and a future lifestyle complex at the waterfront. The waterfront promenade will be revamped to include new night shows and an event zone, with a new Adventure Dining Playhouse to replace the existing Resorts World Theatre. A driverless system will also be built across the Sentosa Boardwalk for better connectivity. [262]

RWS's new attractions will open in phases, yearly from 2020, and expected to be fully completed by 2025. [262] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion has been announced that it will be delayed due to disruptions in the global supply chain. A re-design to the expansion will also be carried out to ensure adaptability to the post COVID-19 environment. [264]

On 26 May 2022, work for the new Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore began with a groundbreaking ceremony. The expansion is expected to be operationally-ready in 2024. It will house multiple rides including the motion-simulator 3D ride - Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, and a ride that will be the first of its kind in the world and exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore. [265]

Additional Gaming Provisions and Casino Levies/Taxes Increase

MBS and RWS, should they decide to expand gaming facilities, will be allowed space of 2,000 square metres and 500 square metres respectively adding to the current 15,000 sq m each, with 1,000 and 800 new machines respectively on top of the 2,500 each. This will still lead to a drop in approved gaming areas from 3.1 per cent to 2.3 per cent given the increase in non-gaming areas. [262]

As a result of these changes, the exclusivity period of the IRs will be extended to end-2030, [262] with casino levies for Singaporeans and PRs increasing to S$150 daily and S$3,000 annually, taking effect on 4 April 2019. From August 2019, a second daily or annual casino entry levy can only be purchased if the current levy expires within six hours, taking effect after six hours of purchase. [266]

From March 2022, casino tax rates will also increase from the current 5 per cent and 15 per cent for premium and mass gaming, respectively, to a two-tier tax rates of 8 per cent and 12 per cent (premium) and 18 per cent and 22 per cent (mass) based on the total gross gaming revenue earned. A flat tax rate of 22 per cent (mass) and 12 per cent (premium) will be imposed should the IRs' investment commitments fail. The tax rates will remain unchanged for 10 years. [266]

Sentosa-Brani Master Plan

Sentosa and Pulau Brani will be transformed under the Sentosa-Brani Master Plan. First proposed in 2018, [267] the plans will span the next two to three decades, with both islands divided into five zones. "Vibrant Cluster", will have large-scale attractions spanning both islands, while "Island Heart" will feature hotels, commercial and conference spaces. "Waterfront" will have a Discovery Park situated in Pulau Brani, while "Ridgeline" will connect green spaces from Mount Faber to Mount imbiah, featuring nature and heritage attractions. "Beachfront" will have a water show, fairgrounds and other attractions to rejuvenate Sentosa's beaches. Transportation will be enhanced too. [268]

In addition, a future "Downtown South" resort, similar to the current NTUC Downtown East in Pasir Ris, will be located on Pulau Brani once the port moves out in 2027. A suitable location is still being worked out with the National Trades Union Congress. [268]

The first project to be built will be the S$90 million Sentosa Sensoryscape, a themed two-tiered thoroughfare connecting Resorts World Sentosa and the southern beaches, replacing the current linkway. It will have look-out points, water features and other architectural elements, thereby creating a multi-sensory experience. When completed by end 2023, the Sentosa Sensoryscape will double the current linkway capacity, being as large as 512 football fields. As a result, the Sentosa Merlion will be demolished from year-end, with its last day of operations on 20 October 2019. The four shops around Sentosa Merlion started closing from the next day onwards. [268]

The current Police Coast Guard headquarters on Pulau Brani will stay put. [268]

Kallang Alive Master Plan

Announced by Sport Singapore (SportSG) on 6 August 2019, the area around Kallang and the Singapore Sports Hub is set to be further enhanced as a destination for sport and world-class entertainment and inject vibrancy into the area while complementing the already-completed Singapore Sports Hub. There will be a total of six developments with the entire project set to be completed by 2025. [269]

Included in the plan is Singapore's first velodrome to cater to the community and serve as the national training centre for track cycling. The velodrome will be part of the Youth Hub which include spaces for non-traditional sports such as speed climbing and parkour. [269]

Built on the former Kallang baseball/softball field, the Kallang Football Hub will house the national training centre and ActiveSG Football Academy. The facility consists of a full-sized natural turf pitch, two full-sized artificial pitches, and a half-sized pitch. Four sheltered futsal pitches and a perimeter running track will also be part of the facility. [269]

Replacing one of the outdoor carparks near the Kallang Leisure Park, the new tennis facility, Singapore Tennis Centre, will consist of open and sheltered courts and similarly function as the national training centre and ActiveSG Academy. The new facility will replace the current centre and will be opened to the public. [269]

The Kallang Theatre and its surrounding areas will be redeveloped into an integrated sport, entertainment, and lifestyle centre. Some proposed ideas include office spaces, a multi-purpose e-sports arena, a themed hotel, and an international sports medicine centre. [270]

A circular walking and cycling loop named Alive Gateway and Loop will also be built to trace the original Kallang Airport airfield and link to the waterfront. This would reintegrate the old Kallang Airport site with the overall precinct. [270]

Benaan Kapal Green, an active community park space, will be introduced along the waterfront and includes park connectors, running trails, and play areas for the public. [271]

However, with the development of the master plan, current spaces for sports such as archery, cricket, softball, baseball, netball, and squash will have to be vacated to make way for the development, with most already left the premises. [269]

NS Square

First announced in 2017 and a reveal of the artist's impressions and further details on 9 August 2020, the NS Square is set to replace the existing Marina Bay floating platform ( The Float @ Marina Bay) and is envisioned to be the central focus of the new downtown area. The development will be aligned on a central axis, with The Promontory on the opposite side of the bay, offering a panoramic view of the city skyline. [272]

Like its predecessor, the NS Square will continue to host future National Day Parades, as well as a new addition of a permanent gallery dedicated to national servicemen ( NSmen) and honour their past and present contributions. The NS Square will be a permanent space for large-scale national events and has a seating capacity of 30,000. It will also include community sports facilities, such as a swimming pool and water sports centre, as well as a waterfront promenade with F&B and retail outlets that will improve pedestrian connectivity. [273]

If the Singapore Grand Prix is extended beyond 2021, the temporary closure of the floating platform for construction works of the NS Square will affect the race's Bay Grandstand. A realignment to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, particularly the 300-metre stretch from Turns 16 to 19 along the floating platform, will also have to be carried out. This will be the first major adjustment to the circuit since 2008. [274]

The project is expected to be completed by 2027. [275]

Founders' Memorial

To begin construction in 2022 in a 5-hectare (12-acre) waterfront site at Gardens by the Bay's Bay East Garden, the Founders' Memorial is scheduled to be completed in 2027 to honour the pioneer leaders of Singapore. The building will feature clean architecture lines and a flowing linear green terrain, with lush greenery and foliage, that leads visitors to an amphitheatre that is suitable for large-scale gatherings. The waterfront site will offer visitors a clear view of the Singapore skyline. [276] Other than the amphitheatre, the building will also feature a viewing gallery, permanent and temporary galleries, a visitor centre, multi-purpose rooms, a lake, and a forest trail. [277] [278]

The Founders' Memorial will be served by the future Founders' Memorial MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast line, which will be opened in tandem with the development. [278]

The Bus Resort

Located next to the Changi Village Hawker Centre, The Bus Resort is an upcoming resort development by WTS Travel. Featuring twenty decommissioned public buses revamped as well-furnished resort rooms, the resort is set to open in 2023. [279]

New Science Centre Singapore

Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new Science Centre Singapore will be larger than the current centre to house more gallery spaces for thematic exhibitions and enhanced educational facilities such as specialised laboratories for visitors to conduct hands-on experiments and create new inventions. It will also have more outdoor programmes for visitors to explore the interaction between nature and science. The centre will also have a maker space for organisations to test their prototypes or for creators to use a 3D-printer. [280] A new observatory, outdoor activity plaza, and children's gallery will also be part of the new centre. [281]

The new centre, set to be completed by 2027, will be located at a waterfront site next to Chinese Garden MRT station. The existing centre will continue to operate until the new centre opens, before being repurposed for other uses. [280] [281]

Expansion of Singapore Art Museum (SAM)

Currently closed for renovation works, the S$90 million revamp of the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM) will be completed in 2026. A 1,200 square-metre "floating" sky gallery with column-free spaces is part of the expansion plans. A double-volume atrium entryway and outdoor plaza will also be built to welcome visitors arriving from the Bras Basah MRT station. Furthermore, a new gallery-cum-bridge will be constructed to offer a seamless connection and museum experience between the old St Joseph's Institution and former Catholic High School buildings, which are also occupied by SAM. The existing driveway at the Bras Basah entrance will also be converted into a lawn for pedestrians. Due to the expansion, a new facade featuring reflective glass panels angled towards and reflecting the existing dome of the original heritage main building will be seen from Bras Basah Road. [282] [283]

In total, the expansion will add 30 per cent more exhibition space to the property. [282]

Proposed New Attraction in Jurong Lake District

On 16 April 2019, the Singapore Tourism Board announced a new 7-hectare integrated tourism development in Jurong Lake District, which will be built by 2026. The development will feature a hotel, attractions, eateries and shops and will be located near to the new Science Centre Singapore and the Chinese Garden MRT station. [284] A request for proposal was launched by STB on 15 March 2022, with the development now expected by 2028. The companies successful in the tender will get a 60-year lease for the site, which will require an emphasis on technology, edutainment and sustainability concepts. [285] [286] [287]

Proposed Suspended LED Sky Screen

Announced on 29 June 2022 by The Place Holdings, Singapore is set to be home to Southeast Asia's largest suspended LED interactive sky screen when completed. Designed after the Shimao Tianjie Sky Screen in Beijing, the 200-metre screen is expected to be constructed within one and a half years at an undisclosed location and is capable of broadcasting live events such as concerts. [288]

Community/Leisure

Bukit Canberra

The 12-hectare (30-acre) Bukit Canberra is an upcoming integrated sports and community hub next to Sembawang MRT station. The hub will house facilities including an indoor sports hall, the largest ActiveSG gym in Singapore, a six-lane sheltered swimming pool, and an eight-lane lap pool. There will also be 3 km of running trails, of various difficulties, passing throughout the development. A polyclinic, a senior care centre, and a hawker centre will also be housed in the hub. [289]

A forest buffer around the external boundary of the hub will be conserved and planted up into a tropical secondary rainforest. [290] The surrounding park will also feature a "food forest" and "fruit orchard", with edible crops. There will also be community gardens for nearby residents. Heritage story boards will be placed around the park for visitors to learn more about the area's past as a naval base. The former Admiralty House will also be restored as part of the plans. [289]

Bukit Canberra will be the second such community hub in Singapore, after Our Tampines Hub in Tampines. [145] It will open in phases, with the entire development expected to be fully operational by 2023. [291]

Punggol Regional Sports Centre

Adjacent to the upcoming Punggol Town Hub, the Punggol Regional Sports Centre will feature a 5,000-seater football stadium, a swimming complex with five pools, an indoor sports hall with 20 badminton courts, and a team sports hall with three convertible basketball courts. Aside from these facilities, the centre will also include a gym, a fitness studio, sheltered tennis and futsal courts, a water activity centre, and an archery training centre. [292] The centre will be catered to a wide range of competitive sporting events and will be integrated with the Punggol Waterway and co-located with the existing SAFRA Punggol clubhouse. [293]

The centre is expected to be ready by the end of 2024. [292]

Toa Payoh Integrated Development

Unveiled on 26 February 2023, a new regional sports centre, a redeveloped Toa Payoh polyclinic, a public library, and an upgraded Toa Payoh town park will be built on a 12-hectare site near the Toa Payoh town centre. Plans also include relocating the existing national training centres for aquatics, netball, and table tennis to the new development. The regional sports centre will house swimming pools, a football stadium, indoor sports halls, and sheltered sports courts. [294] [295]

The integrated development is expected to be completed by 2030. [295]

Bay East Garden

Located across the existing Bay South Garden, the upcoming Bay East Garden is set to expand the current Gardens by the Bay by close to 31 hectares (77 acres). The new garden will house the Founders' Memorial, which is currently under construction. It will be split into two themed zones, one inspired by the past and the other by the future. The past zone will feature native and naturalised plant species, and heritage trees such as the tembusu tree that was commonly planted in the past. On the other hand, the future zone will feature a wetland where greenery is integrated with the urban landscape. [296]

A bridge connecting Bay South Garden and Bay East Garden is currently being studied. A tender for its design will be called by the end of 2022. [297]

Bay East Garden is expected to be completed in 2027, alongside the new Founders' Memorial. [298]

Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor

An 11 km elevated green link running above and parallel to the Bukit Timah Canal, the Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor will provide visitors a seamless connection between Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and Gardens by the Bay. New trees will be planted on both sides of the link to create a "riverine rainforest experience" while providing shade for those using the link. [299]

Construction of the first phase is scheduled to begin in 2021, and is estimated to be completed within two to three years time. [300]

Khatib Nature Corridor

Announced by the National Parks Board (NParks) on 6 June 2022, the upcoming Khatib Nature Corridor will connect the Central Catchment Nature Reserve with the future 40-hectare Khatib Bongsu Nature Park in Khatib. Aside from the existing Springleaf Nature Park and forested sites at Tagore and Lower Selatar Reservoir, the corridor will also include three new parks - Nee Soon Nature Park in Springleaf, Miltonia Nature Park in Miltonia Close, and a park on the Orchid Country Club site, whose lease will expire in 2030. [301] [149]

The corridor will be linked up with the Round Island Route, Coast-to-Coast Northern Trail, and the Central Corridor. [301]

Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network

Announced on 19 August 2020, the upcoming Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network will become Singapore's second nature park network when completed. The nature park covers an area of more than 400 hectares (990 acres) and consists of the existing Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Kranji Marshes, the upcoming Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat and Lim Chu Kang Nature Park, and other smaller nature areas. [302]

The 72.8-hectare (180-acre) Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat, formerly out of bounds to the public, will be refurbished with basic amenities such as a nature trail, bicycle racks, and bird hides for public access. [303]

The 18-hectare (44-acre) Lim Chu Kang Nature Park, formerly the Western Extension, will be linked up with the Lim Chu Kang mangroves and feature outdoor play areas. The 100-year-old Cashin House at the edge of the shore will also be reconstructed for educational purposes with new facilities such as an exhibition space, seminar rooms, and a seaview terrace. The adjoining pier will also be refurbished. [302]

The entire network, boasting more than 15 km of nature trails, will be connected to the Round-Island-Route. [304]

Restoration of Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

Vacant for over a decade, the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station will begin restoration works as a national monument in 2024. Part of the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront development and the southern entry point to the Rail Corridor, the railway station will be integrated with the upcoming Cantonment MRT station. [305]

Estimated to cost approximately S$40 million, works are expected to be completed by 2026. [305]

Upgrading of Marine Parade Community Building

Closed in June 2022, the existing Marine Parade Community Building will be demolished and redeveloped into a new community building. Despite calls for conservation, the building's iconic mural art wall facade is set to be removed as part of the upgrading works. Measuring 63 metres in width and 12 metres in height, the mosaic facade is Singapore's largest installation art piece. [306]

Revamp of *SCAPE

Announced on 27 July 2022, *SCAPE at Orchard Road will be undergoing a revamp to attract youths of all ages where it will be reconfigured to house three key zones for further collaborations between young entrepreneurs, creatives, and content creators. Aside from infrastructure changes to make the building more accessible, a new tenant mix will also be introduced as part of the revamp. [307] [308]

The revamp is expected to begin in early 2023 and completed in early 2024. [307]

Military/Security

Tengah Airbase

Paya Lebar Airbase is bound to be retired and freed up for commercial or residential use by 2030. As such, the aircraft will be moved to the newly expanded Tengah Airbase, which has already begun construction. [309] The land surrounding the area has been recently acquired by the government, including cemeteries, graves and agricultural farms in the nearby area. More training areas and a second runway will be built.

National Service (NS) Hub

Officially ground-broken on 25 November 2019, the NS Hub, which occupies a land area of approximately nine hectares, [310] will house the Central Manpower Base (CMPB), Military Medicine Institute (MMI), and a new Fitness Conditioning Centre to meet all the services that pre-enlistees and Operationally Ready National Servicemen ( NSmen) need. The hub will also include an e-Mart for NSmen to stock up on their necessary NS equipment such as combat boots and admin t-shirts. [311]

Currently, pre-enlistees attend medical screenings at the CMPB located at Depot Road, and the MMI located at Kent Ridge for other specialist medical services. As for NSmen, they currently take their IPPT at various locations. However, with the NS Hub, national servicemen will not need to report to various locations across Singapore for different NS services. [311]

The NS Hub will also be utilising technology such as facial recognition, automation, and analytics to improve visitor experience. [312]

Other than NSmen, the public will also be able to use the facilities at the NS Hub. Some of the facilities include a food court, a childcare center, and an outdoor community area with a running track and football field. The hub will also house the radio stations of Power 98 Love Songs and 88.3JIA for visitors to catch the DJs live on air. Studios will also be built for the public to enjoy performances. [311]

Set to be completed by 2023, the NS Hub will be directly accessible via an overhead bridge from Cashew MRT station along Upper Bukit Timah Road. [311]

Expansion of Woodlands Checkpoint

First announced on 30 March 2017 by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the current Woodlands Checkpoint will be expanded with the addition of a new wing to be built at the site of the Old Woodlands Town Centre, adjacent to the checkpoint. The approximately 8-hectare site will help to boost clearance capacity and meet growing cross-border traffic needs. [313]

While demolition works are being carried out at the site, the ICA is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the optimal design of the expansion and the extent of the upgrading and redevelopment works. However, the ICA did not state if the new wing will be meant for vehicular or human traffic, nor state the completion date of the expansion. [313]

On 26 May 2022, the ICA announced that the expansion will include areas aside from the Old Woodands Town Centre. This updated plan will involve the acquisition of nine Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks located adjacent to the existing checkpoint by the second quarter of 2028. Apart from the added capacity, the expansion will also see "flexi-lanes" that are equipped to clear cars and motorcycles, thereby reducing clearance time. To support the expanded checkpoint, surrounding roads and the existing Bukit Timah Expressway will be extended and upgraded to funnel traffic directly to and from the new extension. [314]

Integrated Services Centre (Expansion of ICA Building)

Announced on 10 December 2019 by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the carpark next to the current ICA Building at Lavender will be replaced by a new 10-storey 24-hour Integrated Services Centre. The centre will be making use of technology, such as self-service kiosks with bio-metric technology, to shorten the process of document pick-ups. [315] Other than providing a convenient one-stop centre offering public services, the new centre will also house a number of service centres, a heritage centre, the Registrar of Societies, and the Casino Regulatory Authority. The current building will also be upgraded with total works estimated to cost S$300 million. [316]

This new facility will more than double the size of the current headquarters and is expected to be operational by 2024. [315]
