State properties are tenanted out for interim use at rentals/fees generally based on the use and size of the State property. The use and size of the State property are set out expressly in the Tenancy Agreement/ Temporary Occupation License. Tenants/licensees proposing a change of use at tenanted State properties will first need to seek SLA's approval as agent of the landowner. Tenants/licensees will then seek technical clearances from the various agencies on their own, if required. If the approved use and/or intensity exceeds that stated in the Tenancy Agreement/Temporary Occupation License, the rental/TOL fees will have to be revised accordingly. Please refer to the procedure below for the details.

Procedure for processing change of use for tenanted State properties
-
Technical clearances and flowchart
You are required to first consult SLA in writing if you wish to apply for a change of use for the State property that you are renting.
SLA will evaluate whether your proposal is acceptable and can be submitted to URA for planning evaluation.
If your proposal is accepted by SLA, you would then have to consult the relevant agencies as stated in this flowchart and obtain clearances from these agencies. Please note that the clearances listed are required to facilitate the processing of change of use and are not exhaustive. Additional clearances might be
required depending on your application.
You are then required to submit a change of use application to URA, Development Control Division, together with the supporting approvals from the abovementioned agencies, for approval.
If URA is supportive of your change of use proposal, they will issue you a Planning Permission.
SLA will then follow up on the revision of your rental (effective from the date of URA's approval), if applicable, and inform you accordingly.
