Number of Non-compliant Noise Levels at HDB BTO Construction Sites in Fernvale between August to October 2025

Mr Ng Chee Meng asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) for the past three months, what is the number of instances of non-compliance with regulatory noise limits detected by noise meters installed at the HDB BTO construction sites in Fernvale; (b) what is the breakdown of these instances by projects; and (c) what penalties have been imposed on such non-compliance.

There are two Housing and Development Board Build-To-Order projects currently under construction in Fernvale – Fernvale Sails and Fernvale Oasis. From August to October 2025, the National Environment Agency (NEA) received 14 instances of feedback on construction noise from these construction sites, but the on-site noise meters detected only one instance of non-compliance with the regulatory noise limits by the contractor of Fernvale Sails. The contractor was fined for this violation.

NEA will continue to monitor the construction sites and take appropriate enforcement action against any instances of non-compliance with the regulatory noise limits.
