Dr Janil Puthucheary asked the Minister for National Development (a) what are the grounds for deriving car park space norms in newly developed HDB estates and how does the Ministry anticipate that they will change in the future; (b) what percentage of HDB households have more than one season car park label in their estate; (c) of households with more than one season carpark label, what percentage of them have been assigned a season parking lot in a car park which is not the closest one to their home; and (d) whether the planning norms take into account the significant rise in car ownership.

HDB parking lots are provided primarily to serve the needs of HDB residents. HDB considers factors, such as the number of dwelling units, flat type, existing parking demand, LTA's projected car population growth and transport policies when deriving the number of parking lots in HDB estates. HDB reviews its parking norms regularly in consultation with LTA.

The number of households owning more than one car has remained constant at about 5% (or 44,000) since 2011. Of this, about 5% (or 2,300) are assigned to park at alternative car parks near their home.

HDB will continue to monitor the parking situation at its estates and provide viable solutions to meet the residents' needs.
