Revisions to Environmental Study on Long Island Development in Light of Feedback from Scientists and Nature Groups

Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for National Development (a) what aspects, if any, of the Draft Final Report entitled "Environmental Study for Proposed Long Island Development" released on 30 June 2026 will be revised in the light of feedback from scientists and nature groups; and (b) whether the Government will provide consultation periods of longer than four weeks for future projects.

We value the feedback from nature groups, researchers, stakeholders and members of the public to the Draft Final Report of the Environmental Study for Preparatory Works for "Long Island". The views and suggestions will be taken into consideration in the Final Report.

The Final Report of the Environmental Study for Preparatory Works for "Long Island" is the first stage of the environmental studies for "Long Island", and the second stage of the environmental studies is ongoing. We will continue to engage stakeholders and the wider public in developing the plans for "Long Island".
