Reclamation works for about 900ha of land off Changi Bay are expected to start by the end of this year, The Straits Times has learnt.
The specific use of the land, which is more than 10 times the size of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, is still being studied, the Housing Board told ST yesterday.
“Changi Bay has been identified for land reclamation, to meet Singapore’s future land use needs. The specific use of the land is being studied,” said its spokesman in response to queries.
HDB is the developing agency appointed to carry out land reclamation works, and the infilling of the site near the existing Changi Exhibition Centre is expected to take at least 10 years. The reclamation area lies entirely within Singapore’s territorial waters.
Property experts say the reclaimed land is likely to be used for military, infrastructure or industrial purposes rather than housing due to its proximity to military operations and the airport.
