community building is a continuous and long

There is still much we need to do, and much
we can continue to achieve together. Our
next 5-year plan for our Towns will be even
more exciting, and some of these ideas have
been included in this issue. Again, these plans
are built on many of your suggestions and
feedback that we have gathered thus far. For
example, there has been a strong request for
sports facilities. Many seniors have also shared
the hope that they can move into smaller
apartments now that their children have moved
out to their own flats. There has also been
much feedback on preserving and improving
the greenery of our Towns. These are just some
of the good ideas provided by you. We have
incorporated these into our next plan, which we
will soon share with you. We hope to have your
support for it.
Together, we can make our Town even better,
for you and for your children.

in the vicinity of JB Sentral, Johor Bahru
and in the vicinity of Republic Polytechnic,

Both stations are slated to have co-located

Shopping, leisure, commercial and residential developments will be connected
within a 400m radius of all MRT stations. These buildings will also be linked
within a 200m radius of all LRT stations and bus interchanges. Furthermore,
100 existing bus shelters with high human traffic will be integrated with trip

Growing old may sometimes bring with it certain
problems. And yet, having done so much for
us, our pioneers deserve to enjoy their latter
years to the best of their abilities. That’s why the
provision of comprehensive eldercare services in
Sembawang GRC is always a priority. These are
just some of the ways of how we take care of the
pioneers in our neighborhood.

Exciting Concerts at Admiralty Park
ADMIRALTY PARK
GETS A FACELIFT!
Admiralty Park will be much more exciting
than before, after upgrading is completed
in 2016. Admiralty Park will now boast of
a design which is compatible to its natural
terrain, which sees more slides being built,
due to the presence of many slopes. These
slides are not only for children, but for the
young at heart as well. With these slide-
themed play areas, families will be able to
bond over play as they go on the slides
together. Children who visit the park will
also be enamored with the new climbing
ropes and telescopes added to the play
areas.
Amenities such as shelters, toilets, exercise
areas and a viewing platform will also
be installed. These new developments
at Admiralty Park is the result of public
engagement exercises held in 2012, where
public feedback was gathered on how to
further improve the park. Residents will be
able to see their suggestions become reality
by late 2016, when the upgrading is slated
to complete.

WILL TRAVEL!
Cyclists in our Town, good news! Woodlands
has been identified as one of the next cycling
towns in the pipeline to benefit from an intra-
town cycling path network.
This is part of the Government’s overall plans
to build over 700km of cycling paths island-
wide by 2030, which includes the extensive
Park Connector Network and Round Island
Route that the National Parks Board (NPB)
is building. The various paths will be well-
connected through “short links” that will
be built by the Land Transport Authority
(LTA) in the near future. Cyclists will enjoy
a more seamless cycling experience. LTA
plans to implement the cycling path network
in Woodlands, and this is targeted for
completion in 2018.
In the interim, Woodlands residents can look
forward to a new “short link” cycling path
that will be built along Woodlands Drive to
BLK 809 WOODLANDS ST 81
better connect them to the existing Park
Connector Network along Woodlands North
5 (refer to the map below). Construction will
begin and complete later this year.

As part of the National Parks Board (NPB)’s
master plan to develop the Sembawang
coastal area into an adventure park, Water-
Venture (Sembawang) took over the lease of
the former ‘Bottle Tree’ restaurant at Jalan
Mempurong to expand on its activities and
facilities. Minister Khaw Boon Wan officially
reopened the extended facility on 11 October
2014 in conjunction with Project Blue Wave.
Among the host of new facilities is a double-

camps and expeditionary programmes
BBQ pits for students, youths and families. The
concept is to enhance the existing Water-
Venture (Sembawang), together with its
new premises, to be a ‘Suburban Adventure
Centre’, offering water sports as well as
adventure and camping activities.
With the expansion, Water-Venture
(Sembawang) will not only meet the
recreational and active lifestyle needs of
residents and students in the northern region
of Singapore, but also bring people together
to develop friendships and strong bonds.
