Our town is constantly evolving to cater to the demands of our diverse community who have made Chua Chu Kang their home. Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) We are fortunate this year to see more precincts being made eligible for the NRP; a fully government funded programme aimed at refreshing our more matured estates, to bring them up to par with the newer HDB developments. Three precincts were previously selected for the NRP – Teck Whye Lane precinct (Chua Chu Kang division), Jurong West St 81 precinct (Nanyang division) and Jurong West Ave 5 and St 71/72 precinct (Nanyang division). The three projects are making good progress, and are scheduled for completion by the middle of 2017, end of 2019 and end of 2018 respectively. We have also completed the NRP consensus gathering for Blocks 130 to 146 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1 and Teck Whye Lane late last year (Chua Chu Kang division), and more recently, the Penduduk dan Sahabat yang Dikasihi, public consultation for Blocks 401 to 428 Choa Saya amat berbangga untuk dapat memberitahu Chu Kang Ave 3 and 4 (Keat Hong division). semua penduduk kami tentang perubahan dan perkembangan terkini yang berlaku di Bandar Chua Community Improvement Projects (CIP) Chu Kang yang cantik dan yang kami cintai.

Over 1,000 residents from 24 Residents' Committees (RCs) joined hands to clean up as well as clear obstructions in common areas such as void decks and common corridors. The event is organised by the Town Council with the support of the RCs, which helped to promote the competition and gather volunteers to take part in block cleaning activities. A main purpose of the competition is to build community spirit and encourage residents to become more involved with improving the environment in their estates. All households in the winning blocks will enjoy a one-off S&CC rebate. A plaque will also be installed at the void deck to recognise the efforts made by residents.
