Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on land use changes in Lim Chu Kang by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
Question:
Mr Fadli Fawzi: To ask the Minister for National Development (a) what is the rationale for land use changes in Lim Chu Kang; and (b) why is there a need for three of the affected farms to move out within the next year, given that two other farms in the affected area can operate for at least 10 more years.
Answer:
The land-use changes in Lim Chu Kang are intended to optimise our scarce land to meet our growing and evolving needs. These changes will allow the Government to explore the physical co-location of food and non-food farms to the North of Lim Chu Kang, which could benefit from shared facilities and integrated infrastructure planning. It also enables the consolidation of contiguous training land for MINDEF in the South of Lim Chu Kang.
The different timelines for the affected farms to move out are based on the expiry of their existing tenancies or leases and phased development timelines. There will be no early termination of tenancies or leases. The affected farms were informed early that no further lease renewals will be granted, to provide sufficient lead time to prepare for the transition.
