Assessing Wait Times and Occupancy Rates at Heavy Vehicle Parking Places
Speakers: Cassandra Lee, Chee Hong Tat
Ms Cassandra Lee asked the Minister for National Development whether URA will review the waiting times for applications for heavy vehicle season parking, including the time taken to assess requests for additional parking capacity where nearby lots are fully allocated.
Ms Cassandra Lee asked the Minister for National Development whether URA, when allocating or renewing sites for heavy vehicle parking, applies any criterion on the proximity of such sites to public transport nodes, so that workers who park their vehicles there can travel home more easily.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: Heavy vehicle parks are generally located near industrial areas and other places where heavy vehicles operate, and away from residential areas to minimise disamenities for residents.
About 80% of heavy vehicle parking lots in Singapore are private heavy vehicle parking lots. The remaining 20% are public heavy vehicle parking lots managed by various Government agencies. If the lots in a public heavy vehicle park have been fully allocated, new applicants will be placed on a waiting list. The waiting time depends on the turnover of existing season parking ticket holders.
The Government has taken steps to give heavy vehicle owners greater flexibility in meeting their overnight parking needs. Since 15 September, the Land Transport Authority has introduced a new lodgement service under the Vehicle Parking Certificate scheme for heavy vehicle owners who wish to park outside of licensed heavy vehicle parks. Heavy vehicle owners can now lodge overnight parking arrangements at suitable private, non-residential premises, such as industrial facilities, authorised worksites and commercial properties, with the consent of the premise owner or occupier. Each lodgement can be made for up to two years at no fee.
