Debated in Parliament on 20 Feb 2017.
Ms Foo Mee Har asked the Minister for National Development what is the number, size and location of Government properties and facilities that are currently vacant or unused, including schools, institutes, factories and industrial facilities.
Based on returns collated from key Government agencies that own a significant number of properties, there are around 1,000 Government properties that are vacant. These properties are of various sizes and located all over Singapore.
The properties are vacant for various reasons, such as in the process of being leased, under review for redevelopment or pending demolition.
