Environmental studies for sustainable development

When NParks develops new parks or enhances existing ones, we conduct thorough environmental studies where required to determine and mitigate the potential impact of any new development on the environment. These studies assess the potential impact of the development work on both natural and built environments, and are crucial to our efforts to mitigate the impact.

The findings of all environmental studies are carefully considered in the evaluation process in order to determine the extent of the potential impact and adequacy of proposed mitigation measures, before a project is allowed to proceed.

Evidence-based approach

The environment studies are carried out by independent environmental consultants. These studies are reviewed by technical agencies and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

Community engagement

We also engage various groups of community stakeholders for their feedback to ensure that the studies are comprehensive and the community stakeholders are well-informed.

The feedback from these engagements and the findings are then carefully considered as part of finalising the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report. This is done in accordance with the EIA framework set up by the URA and other government agencies. This approach ensures that our development projects are thoughtfully planned and executed, to balance environmental concerns with the community's needs and Singapore's urban growth.

Environmental studies reports

To keep the public informed and involved, we provide access to the EIA reports for our projects. Members of the public are invited to share their feedback within the designated period.

Some reports are available for direct download, while others can be viewed upon request.

The biodiversity component of an EIA is called the Biodiversity Impact Assessment (BIA). NParks' BIA guidelines provide a reference for developers and industry professionals to understand the common requirements.
