Summary written by AI (learn more)

Over the past 10 years, eight HDB sites have been announced for the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), affecting about 6,900 sold flats or an average of 690 flats per year.
SERS is limited due to factors such as site redevelopment potential and availability of nearby replacement homes, so few more sites are expected to be eligible.
The government has introduced a new Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS) to systematically redevelop and renew older HDB towns.
The debate highlighted the challenges of implementing SERS, including its compulsory acquisition nature and constraints on site selection.
The exchange focused on the annual breakdown of SERS projects and units affected, as well as the need for alternative renewal strategies.

Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for National Development (a) in the past 10 years, what is the number of HDB's Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) projects and the number of dwelling units affected, broken down on an annual basis; and (b) what are the challenges involving SERS projects.

Lawrence Wong

Since 2010, eight public housing sites involving about 6,900 sold flats (or an average of 690 sold flats per year) have been announced for the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS).

SERS involves compulsory acquisition and is done only on a limited basis, after taking into consideration various factors such as the redevelopment potential of the site, and the availability of suitable replacement sites nearby to rehouse the home-owners involved. Given these restrictions, we do not expect many more sites to be eligible for SERS. This is why the Government has announced a new Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS) to more systematically redevelop and renew our older HDB towns.
