Four public housing estates to be zoned as car-lite areas

Two other areas, Pearl's Hill and Tanjong Rhu, will also be gazetted.

The change for all six will come into effect on Oct 31.

Car-lite areas are planned upfront with public transport, walking and cycling connections, allowing for the provision of fewer parking spaces, said the Housing Board and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Wednesday.

HDB will reduce the number of parking spaces in selected precincts within the gazetted carlite areas to free up space for public facilities and greenery.

The first Build-To-Order (BTO) flats in Ulu Pandan will be launched in the November sales exercise, and it will be the first HDB car-lite precinct.

HDB announced in July 2021 that it would be developing the eastern half of Ulu Pandan, with new public housing projects to be designed to weave in greenery and blue elements in the area.
