Government to probe environmental impact of Cross Island Line portion

Tender will be launched in 1Q14.

According to a release, the Government will be conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the portion of the Cross Island Line (CRL) around the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR), to ascertain how various alignments could affect the CCNR.

The findings of the EIA, along with other considerations such as transport connectivity and land use compatibility, will guide the Government’s decision on the alignment of the Cross Island Line.

LTA will call a tender in the first quarter of 2014 to engage a consultant to conduct the EIA. The EIA will include an assessment of the possible environmental impact on the CCNR by possible direct crossing and skirting alignments during various phases of the project, including the investigative works required.

When completed in 2016, the EIA report will assist the Government in its assessment of the environmental impact of the CRL alignment on the nature reserve. The final alignment of the CRL will consider all relevant factors such as connectivity, travel times, as well as the environmental impact, implications to developments in the vicinity, and costs.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
