Latest revision as of 13:41, 28 September 2024

Sembawang is a planning area and residential town in the North Region of Singapore. It has a land area of approximately 12.34 km2, and ranks 21st, 23rd and 25th in terms of size, population and density respectively. Sembawang planning area is situated west of Simpang, north of Mandai, northwest of Yishun and east of Woodlands.

The planning area is made up of 9 subzones, namely Sembawang East, Admiralty, The Wharves, Sembawang Central, Senoko North, Senoko South, Sembawang North, Sembawang Springs and Sembawang Straits.

Planning and construction[edit]

The planning of Sembawang New Town was first mentioned in the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Planning Report for Sembawang (1996). This Development Guide Plan, with the aid of zoning maps, highlights the various land zoning proposals, which eventually led to the creation of Sembawang New Town. This provides an interesting perspective to the development of the town. The Sembawang Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Station serves as the central hub, around which residential, commercial as well as industrial zones mushroomed.

Public housing[edit]

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats in the Sembawang Planning Area have been split among three divisions, each of which is represented by a Member of Parliament. The North West Community Development Council (CDC) is the local administration, initiating, planning and managing community programmes to promote community bonding and social cohesion.

Current and future development[edit]

In the Draft 2003 Master Plan, a Sembawang Activity Corridor was proposed. Plans are in place to develop an activity corridor stretching from the Sembawang Town Centre to the Jalan Legundi area. Mentioned in the Plan was the development of the Sembawang Bus Interchange next to Sun Plaza, as well as a Sembawang Sports Complex at the junction of Sembawang Road / Canberra Road / Sembawang Avenue. Park connectors linking Sembawang MRT Station and Woodlands MRT Station are in the work, as well as a new park connector along Sungei Simpang Kiri from Yishun Avenue 2 to Sembawang Road, bringing people to the lively Sembawang Activity Corridor. A new Community Centre for Sembawang residents will be co-located with the existing Sembawang Neighbourhood Police Centre at Sembawang Drive.
