The project was initially allocated 907 hectares of land for public housing and industrial development, but the land area was subsequently increased to over 919 hectares. After resettling the villages that once dotted the area, construction work for Yishun began in 1977.

Woodlands Regional Centre

ABOUT THE WOODLANDS REGIONAL CENTRE

Woodlands Regional Centre is one of the four regional centres identified under the Land Use Plan to create business hubs outside the city centre. This not only provides more locational choices for businesses but also brings jobs and amenities closer to homes, thus reducing the need to travel towards the city centre.

The two regional centres at Tampines Regional Centre and Jurong Lake District are growing well. Tampines Regional Centre was the first to be developed in the 1990s and is today a bustling centre in the east. Jurong Lake District is also growing steadily since the plans were unveiled in the Master Plan 2008.
