Average and Range of Increase in Development Intensity for Sites Acquired under Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for National Development with regard to projects that have been announced under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) to date, what has been the average and range of increase in development intensity or plot ratios for sites that are acquired.

Mr Desmond Lee: Sites which have been announced for the Selective En-Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) are identified after careful site-by-site evaluation of various factors, including the redevelopment potential of the site, the availability of suitable replacement sites to rehouse the flat owners involved, and the Government’s financial resources. The SERS sites will be redeveloped based on the planning intention set out in URA’s prevailing Master Plan.
