The Boon Lay branch of the West Coast Town Council (WCTC) will relocate in 2025 to the former UOB building in Boon Lay Place, as part of overall plans to rejuvenate the area under the draft master plan, Minister for National Development Desmond Lee said.
Speaking at the National Day observance ceremony at Boon Lay Community Club on Aug 4, Mr Lee, who is an MP for West Coast GRC, outlined plans for the rejuvenation of Boon Lay Place, which includes building more sheltered linkways in the area and relocating the WCTC branch office to 325 Boon Lay Place, among other things.
Government agency JTC Corporation is considering uses such as after-school care, infant-care services, active ageing facilities and more, for the former UOB building, he said.
"We are studying these options, discussing with agencies and welcome your views on possible uses," Mr Lee added.
"Our neighbourhoods and infrastructure have to evolve with the needs of residents. This way, we can breathe new life into familiar buildings and keep them relevant." Housewife Norshuhaiba Safie, 42, who has lived in Boon Lay for three years, said the future Boon Lay branch office of WCTC will be very close to her home.
