More greenery retained, fewer homes planned for Maju Forest, Gillman Barracks sites after public feedback
The proposed development at both sites has drawn public outcry, with residents and nature groups calling for stronger environmental safeguards.
The government announced on Friday that it will retain more greenery than originally planned at the Maju Forest and Gillman Barracks sites, following public feedback. This means fewer homes will be built on both locations, according to Minister of State for National Development Alvin Tan. The adjustments will be made to the current plans, which were already developed in consultation with nature groups.
Some residents and nature groups had expressed concerns about overdevelopment and deforestation, and now the government plans to retain even more greenery than initially intended.
