CREATING TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS

The Woodlands Regional Centre is currently served by the Woodlands North-South Line MRT station and Woodlands Bus Interchange. With the upcoming completion of two Thomson Line MRT stations in 2019 and a planned future Rapid Transit (RTS) Link to Johor, there will be excellent accessibility to the city.

New developments around the existing Woodlands MRT and Bus Interchange, as well as the new Thomson Line stations at Woodlands and Woodlands North will be planned to be highly walkable and well-integrated with transit nodes to provide greater convenience for the public.

CREATING DISTINCTIVE DISTRICTS

Woodlands Regional Centre has the unique position as the Northern Gateway to Singapore. With about 100 ha of available land for development, there is opportunity to capitalise on its unique location and assets to create a waterfront destination, and lifestyle hub for both residents and overseas visitors. There are two distinct precincts planned in the Woodlands Regional Centre:

c.	CAPITALISING ON THE WATERFRONT
	To capitalise on the proximity to the waterfront, we plan to extend the existing waterfront and enhance connectivity to the waterfront. The proposal centres along a green boulevard, which runs through the heart of the Woodlands North Coast precinct, connecting the MRT interchange to the waterfront.

ENHANCING CONNECTIVITY AND GREEN NETWORK

Today, Woodlands has an extensive green network of neighbourhood, town, and regional parks. We will study the feasibility of growing the network of existing park connectors and cycling paths in order to further enhance connectivity for recreational enthusiasts and commuters. This could include connecting to the 150-km Round Island Route and Rail Corridor to establish islandwide and intra-town connectivity. The implementation plans for the Round Island Route and Rail Corridor are currently under study.
