Proposed Building of Hawker Centres in Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang

Mr David Ong asked the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources whether a hawker centre can be built for residents in Bukit Batok constituency.

Mr Zaqy Mohamad asked the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources whether the Ministry has updates on the proposed location, size and implementation timeline for the hawker centre in Choa Chu Kang estate.

At the Committee of Supply (COS) 2015, the Government announced that an additional 10 new hawker centres will be built by 2027. They will be located in new estates or existing ones that are relatively under-served. Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok Towns are two areas identified for these new hawker centres. As we are still in the early planning stages for these centres, the Ministry can only provide more details of the proposed hawker centres in these areas when the plans are ready.
