Oral reply to PQ on impact of industrial activities and developments in Loyang and Changi North Industrial estates on nearby residents

Question:

Ms Valerie Lee: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry (a) whether the Government is coordinating planning efforts across industrial activities and development in the Loyang and Changi North Industrial estates and the Changi aviation sector in order to minimise congestion and disamenities to nearby residents and impact on the environment; and (b) if so, what is the scope and timeline of such coordination efforts. 

Oral Answer (to be attributed to Minister of State for Trade and Industry Gan Siow Huang)

1.                  Mr Speaker, the Government coordinates planning efforts across all land uses to minimise disamenities and environmental impact to the area. For example, JTC works with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to carry out transport impact Assessments for major industrial developments to support transport demand from companies, their workers and nearby residents. 

2.                  JTC has no plans to develop new industrial estates in Loyang and Changi North in the near term. 

3.                  The Member may refer to the Ministry of Transport's reply to the oral Question No 35 on the 3 March 2026 Sitting, which outlines the Government's efforts to mitigate the impact of congestion in the area.
