1.          The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced the alignment and station locations for the seventh MRT line in Singapore, the Jurong Region Line (JRL). The JRL will be an elevated MRT line, which will serve existing and future developments in the western part of Singapore, and support the making of Jurong into an attractive place to work, live, learn and play.

2.          The JRL will serve residents of Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay, Jurong, and future developments in the Tengah area. It will also connect to main activity nodes in Jurong, such as the Jurong Industrial Estate, Jurong Innovation District, and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The JRL will also serve the Jurong Lake District, supporting plans to transform the area into Singapore’s western business district.

3.           To facilitate the construction of the JRL and associated road works, the Government needs to acquire Block 303 at Choa Chu Kang Ave 4, which is a HDB multi-storey car park with commercial units at the first storey. LTA, in consultation with the Housing & Development Board (HDB), will build a new permanent car park in the vicinity (exact location to be determined), in tandem with the construction of the JRL. In the interim, a temporary surface car park will be provided adjacent to Block 303, where the current Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange is situated.

4.          In addition, another 19 part-lots of land and four pockets of air space will be acquired. The partial acquisitions will only affect ancillary features such as green verges, and boundary walls/fencing.

5.          The Singapore Land Authority has gazetted the acquisition of the affected land and air space today. SLA will work closely with the affected owners and assist them throughout the acquisition process.

6.       The notifications of the land and air space affected by the acquisition have been published in the Gazette on 9 May 2018. The Gazette Notification Nos. 1245, 1246 and 1247 dated 3 May 2018 can be found online at www.egazette.com.sg. The affected private properties are listed below:
