THE BTO COORDINATION COMMITTEE
The committee will be led by the Ministry of National Development and the HDB, as well as “key partners in the building, delivery, and management of the infrastructure and services related to new BTO projects”, said Mr Tan.
They include the Land Transport Authority, the National Environment Agency, the Early Childhood Development Agency, the Infocomm Media Development Authority and the People’s Association.
“Together, we will further tighten the integration across agencies to enhance efficiency, and will step up community communications and outreach efforts to keep residents apprised of the latest developments in their projects,” Mr Tan said.
According to Mr Tan, the committee would review how to better time the provision of key infrastructure. This would include mobile signal networks and systems, as well as pedestrian pathways, roads, and bus stops.
It would look at ways to speed up the time needed for shops and childcare centres to be operational while balancing the need to ensure an adequate customer pool to sustain businesses.
The committee would also look at how to align the completion of community facilities and landscaping with the completion of key collection.
Previously, early Tengah residents had voiced their worries regarding limited connectivity and insufficient facilities in the estate.
