  • Gazetting of New Designated Car-Lite Areas
    Circular No : LTA/DBC/F20.033.005 Date : 22 Jun 2020 CIRCULAR TO PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES Who should know Developers, building owners, tenants and Qualified Persons (QPs) Effective date 1 August 2020 GAZETTING OF NEW DESIGNATED CAR-LITE AREAS 1. In Nov 2018, LTA announced the new Range-based Parking Provision Standards (RPPS) and the new parking Zone 4 for car-lite areas, which came into force in Feb 2019. The areas classified as “Zone 4” in the RPPS will be planned with strong public transport connectivity, walking and cycling travel options. Vehicle parking provision for development applications within these areas will be determined by LTA on a case-specific basis. Five car-lite areas were gazetted on 1 Feb 2019. They are Kampong Bugis, Marina South, Jurong Lake District (JLD), Bayshore and Woodlands North. 2. The car-lite boundary of JLD will be expanded in view of the potential synergies between the JLD area gazetted as Zone 4 in Feb 2019 and the adjacent development areas. In addition, 5 new areas will be gazetted for development as car-lite areas. These are Jurong Innovation District (JID), one-north, Punggol Digital District (PDD), Springleaf, and Woodlands Central. Please refer to Appendix 1 for details on the boundaries of these car-lite areas. These 5 new car-lite areas and the expanded boundary of JLD will be gazetted as Zone 4 with effect from 1 Aug 2020. 3. The Zone 4 vehicle parking requirement will apply to all new development proposals within the car-lite areas highlighted in paragraph 2, submitted to LTA from 1 Aug 2020 onwards.

  • Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI
    Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI or over 70 years, the Urban Land Institute (ULI)’s Advisory Services Programme has Fworked to bring together the finest expertise in real estate to provide insights on best practice in challenging land-use issues ranging from planning, to development, heritage, and regulatory policy. In total, ULI has now convened more than 600 Advisory Services Panels (ASPs), staffed by volunteers from its 40,000 inter-disciplinary membership base. By providing an unbiased outside point of view from this very deep pool of expertise, the Advisory Services programme has and continues to deliver fresh insights and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable real estate problems. In January 2018, the Ministry of National Development’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore (collectively known as ‘the Sponsors’) approached ULI to form an Advisory Services panel of ten highly qualified practitioners to provide strategic advice on Jurong Lake District, a growth area that is planned as a smart and sustainable mixed-use business district. Hailing from three continents and five countries, the ULI Jurong Lake District panel members (collectively known as “the Panel”) were selected based on their expertise in finance, master development, and transportation, as well as their ability to provide independent views on development strategies. The following piece further explores the Jurong Lake District panel’s scope and process. Background and the Panel’s Assignment Located in western Singapore, the 360-hectare Jurong Lake District encompasses two precincts: a commer- cial hub at Jurong Gateway, and a leisure, recreational and mixed-use area at Lakeside.

  • A Summary of the History of the Railway Line
    A SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY LINE 1 HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY LINE 1.1 Through its century of operation, the Rail Corridor has acquired a rich patina of history not only as an important transport linkage, but also in the collective memories of people who have travelled between Singapore and Malaysia. Known formerly as the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) Railway Line, it served as a significant means of goods transport, communications and passenger travel. With Singapore envisioned as the start and end point of a rail network which would stretch west to Calais in France, north to Hankou in China and onwards to the Trans-Siberian network, the construction of the rail was seen as a symbol of progress, promising to connect Singapore to the rest of the world. 1.2 The railway history can be described in 3 phases, namely, (1) the establishment of the Singapore-Kranji Railway, (2) integration to the Malayan Peninsula and Keppel Harbour, and finally, (3) the addition of the Jurong Spur Line. 1.2.1 Establishment of the Singapore-Kranji Railway, 1903 a. The railway line was first completed on 1 January 1903 with train services connecting Tank Road Station (also known as the Singapore Station) to Bukit Timah Station. From the Tank Road Terminus, the train went through a cutting between Tank Road and Oxley Road and then up an incline so as to cross Orchard Road on an overhead bridge near the Cold Storage premises (now Centrepoint). Further travel would lead to Newton Station at Newton Road, Cluny Road Station, Holland Road Station and to Bukit Timah Station.
