Incidence of Non-compliance with Regulatory Noise Limits at HDB BTO Construction Sites

Ms Mariam Jaafar asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) for the past three months, what is the number of instances of non-compliance with regulatory noise limits detected by noise meters installed at the HDB BTO construction sites in Woodlands; (b) what is the breakdown by projects; and (b) what penalties have been imposed.

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: From October to December 2021, NEA received 15 instances of feedback on construction noise from HDB Build-to-Order projects in Woodlands. Aside from one project for which investigations are ongoing, there were no instances of non-compliance with the permissible noise limits recorded by noise meters installed.
