The government will shift Paya Lebar Air Base to Changi East in order to free up 800ha of land for homes, parks, offices and factories, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during Sunday’s National Day Rally.
Aside from providing a land area larger than Bishan or Ang Mo Kio, the relocation of the air base will remove existing height restrictions around the vicinity, allowing the authorities to develop new and exciting plans for eastern Singapore.
