HDB Greenprint Pilot and Completed Upgrades Reach Jurong East Residents
Projects covering thousands of flats and specific blocks introduce features that may influence household energy expenses and access to local facilities.
How we reported this
The HDB Greenprint pilot project covers 38 blocks with approximately 3,200 flats in Jurong East. The programme introduces eco-friendly features intended to reduce energy usage by 30 per cent. Jurong East forms part of the Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC after division boundaries were revised effective 1 August 2025.
These changes occur alongside other local works that affect daily services and costs for residents. The Neighbourhood Renewal Programme at Block 330, Jurong East Avenue 1, has been completed following resident feedback. It added an elevated fitness platform, covered linkways and a Multi-Purpose Hall.
Household energy and budget considerations
The Greenprint upgrades target energy consumption in the selected blocks. Residents in the affected flats may see shifts in their utility expenses once the eco-friendly features are in place. The project forms part of wider efforts to manage resource use in public housing estates.
Two Volunteer Centres operate in Jurong East, including Jurong's Loving Heart Multi-Service Centre. That centre runs the Neighbour Cares programme aimed at lonely seniors. Such support can connect residents with community resources that sometimes ease pressure on household spending.
Further area developments
The Urban Redevelopment Authority launched a tender for a White site at Town Hall Link in the Jurong Lake District. The move is intended to advance the area's development. Residents will continue to follow how these projects interact with existing neighbourhood programmes and services.
Local works such as the completed NRP additions and the ongoing Greenprint pilot are expected to shape access to facilities and energy patterns for households in the covered blocks. The boundary revisions for the GRC place these matters under the new electoral division from 1 August 2025 onward.
