New hawker centre to be built after 25 years

It will be built and completed in Bukit Panjang within the next three years.

The new hawker centre comprising both cooked food and wet market sections will be located at the junction of Bukit Panjang Road and Pending Road.

An announcement by the National Environment Agency said, “Since the last hawker centre built in 1985, the Government has focused on upgrading and rejuvenating existing hawker centres. Over $420 million has been invested to improve the dining and marketing environment of the centres under the Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme."

According to NEA, the Government will resume the building of hawker centres to cater to the needs of the community in view of the growth of new population centres.
