Possibility of Land between TPE and Fernvale Street to be Used for New HDB BTO Flats

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether the open land between TPE and Fernvale Street will be used to build HDB BTO flats to meet the increased demand for public housing; and (b) if so, when will the HDB flats be built there.

Mr Desmond Lee: Based on Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)'s gazetted Master Plan 2019, the plot of land between Tampines Expressway and Fernvale street is zoned for a mix of uses, including "Residential", "Residential (Subject to Detailed Planning)", "Civic & Community Institution", "Place of Worship", "Park" and "Road". Agencies are still working on plans for the area. Details will be announced when ready.
