Singapore’s URA has submitted proposals for amendments to the Master Plan, to be approved by the Ministry for National Development, that would see changes to zonings and plot ratios for land parcels across seven locations.

The proposed changes aim to provide housing options to meet the demand from working professionals and tenants, while also enhancing one-north as a vibrant mixed-use business park.

At one-north, a business park site at Media Circle and one-north Avenue with a plot ratio of 3.5 will be rezoned to “Residential with Commercial at 1st Storey” with a gross plot ratio of 4.2. It is estimated that it could yield between 250 to 300 units.

Tengah Garden Avenue is one location where a site zoned for commercial and residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8 would be rezoned to “Residential with Commercial at 1st Storey” with a plot ratio of 3.0. This is to facilitate the housing needs of Singaporeans and to provide Tengah Town residents with amenities.

At Bayshore Road, a land parcel designated for residential use would have its plot ratio increased from 3.5 to 4.2, making it one of the most densely built plots in the East Coast. It is estimated to yield more than 1,000 units.

At Margaret Drive, there is currently a car park that could potentially yield between 300 to 350 units if a land parcel zoned for residential use has its plot ratio increased from 3.5 to 4.2.

At Dairy Farm Walk, a land parcel zoned for residential use with a plot ratio of 1.4 could have a higher maximum plot ratio of 2.1. It is likely that the site could see between 400 to 500 new homes.

On Canberra Crescent, a site with residential zoning would have its plot ratio increased from 1.4 to 1.6.

At Faber Walk, three lots are proposed to be amended, with a waterbody zoning to be changed to a residential zoning with a gross plot ratio of 1.4 and park zoning, a residential zoning with a gross plot ratio of 1.4 to be changed to park, waterbody and road zoning, and a road zoning to be changed to park and waterbody zoning. This is to facilitate the proposed Old Jurong Line Nature Trail and to facilitate future residential development.

The proposed amendments are subject to approvals by the Ministry for National Development. If approved, these changes could not only provide housing options to meet the growing demand, but also enhance the vibrancy of these communities.
