Canberra to have integrated development such as sports hub, polyclinic, parks opening in 2021

New Neighbourhoods, Lively Communities

Developing More One-Stop Hubs

With the upcoming integrated developments - Bukit Canberra, Canberra Plaza, and Woodlands Health Campus - families in the North will be able to meet their daily needs near their homes.

Living in Well-Connected Towns

Residents of the North will soon have a variety of new live, work and play options. There will be new amenities and public housing developments planned around existing and upcoming MRT stations, including Canberra MRT.

Bukit Canberra

The upcoming Bukit Canberra will offer Sembawang residents easier access to amenities than ever before. When fully opened in 2021, the integrated development will feature a verdant park-like setting and will include facilities such as a polyclinic, senior care centre, hawker centre, swimming pools, and an indoor sports hall.

New Generation Neighbourhood Centre

When completed in end-2019, Canberra Plaza will feature public housing that is integrated with myriad amenities, including an event plaza, supermarkets, restaurants, food courts and enrichment centres.

Bringing Jobs to the North

Providing New Growth Opportunities

Reimagining Sembawang Shipyard Once Sembawang Shipyard’s operations cease, the site has the potential to be redeveloped into a mixed-use waterfront lifestyle precinct while taking into consideration its rich maritime history. The shipyard's unique coastal profile presents opportunities for new waterfront public spaces. Selected buildings can also be re-purposed to introduce suitable uses that will bring new life into the area.

Enhancing Connectivity Across the North

2019 will see the opening of several new MRT stations and an Integrated Transport Hub (ITH):

• Canberra MRT on the North-South Line (NSL)

• Woodlands North, Woodlands, and Woodlands South MRT stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL)

• Yishun ITH

By 2020, Springleaf MRT along the TEL will also open.

Residents can also look forward to the upgraded Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange, which will be connected to the Woodlands MRT interchange station when completed.

Walking & Cycling to Work & Play

Today, Sembawang and Yishun residents enjoy an extensive intra-town cycling path network that connects residential areas with key local amenities.

Moving forward, more cycling paths and park connectors will make your journeys even smoother.
