PARKING SPACES FOR HEAVY VEHICLES IN PUNGGOL

Mr Yeo Guat Kwang asked the Minister for National Development whether his Ministry will consider increasing the number of parking spaces for heavy vehicles in the Punggol area.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang: To cater to the demand for heavy vehicle lots in Punggol South, URA will be expanding the existing heavy vehicle park (HVP) at the junction of Hougang Avenue 7 and Tampines Road (Site 1 in Annex II (Cols. 745-746)) . This will add another 288 lots to the HVP, bringing the total to 453 lots. The expansion works will be completed by the end of this year. Annex II - HEAVY VEHICLE PARKS (HVPS) (Cols. 745 - 746)

While Sengkang and Punggol Towns are still under development, sites have been safeguarded in Sengkang DGP to provide for HVPs to cater for future demand.
