SINGAPORE: The National Development Ministry has set aside S$46 million over the next three years to upgrade private estates in Singapore.
This will be carried out via two programmes - the Estate Upgrading Programme and the Interim Estate Upgrading Programme.
Six estates have been selected for the seventh batch of the Estate Upgrading Programme at an estimated cost of S$21 million. They include Cambridge Estate, Roxy Estate and Lucky Heights Estate.
The Estate Upgrading Programme is targeted at older private estates and works include the upgrading of parks and playgrounds.
More than 5,000 households will benefit from the improved facilities.
Another S$25 million has been set aside under the Interim-Estate Upgrading Programme, which allows private estates to carry out small-scale improvements.
These include building footpaths, ramps and installing lighting.
