Govt to release two residential sites in Dairy Farm Road and Punggol

To provide developers and home-buyers with more choices for private housing, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing & Development Board (HDB) have launched two residential sites at Dairy Farm Road and Punggol Way / Punggol Walk respectively for sale by public tender today.

The two land parcels are launched for sale under the Confirmed List of the 2nd half 2012 (2H2012) Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme. Together, these sites will yield about 950 units, as part of the 7,060 residential units to be launched for sale under the 2H2012 GLS Programme.

The site at Dairy Farm Road is located within an established private residential estate and is easily accessible by Bukit Timah Expressway and Pan Island Expressway. It is also located close to the future Hillview MRT Station on the Downtown Line 2.

Located near the Punggol Promenade, the site at Punggol Way / Punggol Walk enjoys accessibility to Tampines Expressway, which is a mere minutes away. The site is also near Punggol MRT station and Punggol bus interchange.

Tender for the residential sites at Dairy Farm Road and Punggol Way / Punggol Walk will close at 12 noon on 11 September 2012 and 4 September 2012 respectively. Selection of the successful tenderer will be based on the tendered land price only.

List all authorised sublet flats in a public database online

I refer to the letter “Can HDB step up enforcement?” (July 13). The Housing and Development Board would have the means if it lists all authorised sublet flats in a public database online.

A S$500 reward should be given to anyone who reports unauthorised subletting, to be paid by the offender. The HDB should also increase the penalty for first-time offenders to the equivalent of six months of rent.

If it cannot do this, it can outsource the job.
