Debated in Parliament on 5 Mar 2026.
Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Minister for National Development regarding the continued use of HDB void decks for parcel sorting despite the Courier Hub Scheme (a) what is the current take-up rate of the scheme by major logistics providers; and (b) will the Ministry introduce penalties or enforcement protocols against companies whose personnel persist in obstructing common corridors and void decks.
The first part of the question on the take-up rate for the Courier Hub Scheme was addressed in the Ministry of National Development's reply to the related question asked by Ms Valerie Lee on 25 February 2026. [Please refer to "Assessment of Effectiveness and Extension of Courier Hub Scheme to More Estates", Official Report, 25 February 2026, Vol 96, Issue 19, Written Answers to Questions for Oral Answer not Answered by End of Question Time section.]
Under the Town Councils Act, Town Councils may enforce their by-laws against activities that cause obstruction of common property, such as parcel sorting, that blocks common areas.
