Singapore Turf Club site to undergo holistic development for housing and recreation, said Indranee Rajah

The current Singapore Turf Club (STC) site will be holistically developed to meet the increasing demand for housing, including public housing as well as leisure and recreation as part of the larger overall plan for the North Region, said Indranee Rajah, Second Minister for Finance and for National Development. Urban Redevelopment Authority will create a distinct identity for the precinct, considering its proximity to nature areas. Land preparation and redevelopment will commence after the government takes over in 2027. Assistance will be provided to affected workers, including job placement, skills training, and counseling. Owners are reminded of their responsibility to care for their horses under the Animals and Birds Act.
