Utilisation Rates of Sport Facilities under Dual-Use Scheme

Ms Yeo Wan Ling asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) whether he can provide an update on the utilisation rates of facilities under the Dual-Use Scheme run by ActiveSG; and (b) whether the Ministry will be proactively looking to expand this programme and make available facilities from more schools.

Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai: Under the Dual-Use Scheme (DUS), there are free-to-play facilities and bookable facilities. These include both the Ministry of Education (MOE) school fields and indoor sports halls. No booking is required for free-to-play facilities, that is, members of public can access the facility spontaneously and at no cost.

All bookable facilities under the DUS were almost fully utilised in 2023. SportSG will continue working closely with MOE to expand the DUS to provide Singaporeans with convenient access to schools' sports facilities.
