Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Coastal Protection of Northwest Coast and Jurong Island by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.

Question:

To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) for an update on the coastal protection studies being carried out on the North and Western part of Singapore, including Jurong Island, to mitigate sea level rise; and (b) the expected timelines for the (i) completion of the studies and the development of plans and (ii) commencement of works pursuant to the studies.


Answer:

  1. The two site-specific studies for the North-west coast, covering our coastal reservoirs and our shoreline from Lim Chu Kang to Woodlands, are currently underway and are due to be completed by 2026. The site-specific study for the South-west coast, which will dovetail with the ongoing study for Jurong Island, will commence in 2026. Both studies are targeted for completion by 2030. The studies for the North and North-east coast, from Pasir Ris to Sembawang, will be conducted later. 

  2. PUB and the relevant public agencies will carry out preliminary and detailed designs of the recommended measures following the completion of site-specific studies. Construction of measures is expected to commence in the 2030s.
