Food Centres at Rivervale Delta

Ms Lee Li Lian asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether there will be plans to have food centres in the upcoming BTO project "Rivervale Delta"; and (b) whether the Ministry would consider doing so if there are no such plans.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: There is no plan to include a food centre in the Rivervale Delta BTO project as there are adequate food and beverage (F&B) facilities nearby. For example, there is a cluster of shops at Block 182A Rivervale Crescent, right next to the new BTO. The shops include one eating house, one minimart and one cake shop. In addition, Rivervale Mall is about a five- to 10 minute-walk away. It has a wide range of F&B outlets, including an NTUC Foodfare foodcourt.
