Debated in Parliament on 6 Mar 2026.
Valerie Lee asked about plans to support residents affected by renovations at ActiveSG facilities and provisions for continued access to sports activities. David Neo explained that Sport Singapore regularly renovates facilities to maintain quality and align with community needs. Residents will be notified in advance of facility closures and provided with information on alternative locations. Efforts will be made to minimize user impact by coordinating with groups and class instructors and avoiding simultaneous renovations at multiple nearby facilities.
Ms Valerie Lee asked the Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) what plans are in place to support residents affected by major renovation works at their regional or local ActiveSG facilities, particularly multi-facility sports centres; and (b) whether alternative arrangements will be provided to ensure continued access to sports and community activities.
Sport Singapore renovates its ActiveSG facilities from time to time to ensure that they are well-maintained and aligned with residents' needs.
SportSG will inform residents of any facility closures in advance via the ActiveSG website and physical notices at ActiveSG facilities.
To minimise impact on users, organised groups and class instructors are engaged early on displacement plans, such as to other ActiveSG locations. SportSG will also avoid doing renovation works in multiple nearby ActiveSG facilities at the same time.
