As Singapore’s government agency for industrial development, JTC follows the national Environmental Impact Assessment framework to determine and mitigate the potential impact of new developments on the environment. In general, JTC’s development projects undergo a thorough evaluation process that addresses the development’s potential impact on traffic, public health and safety, heritage, and the environment.
For development projects close to sensitive areas such as nature reserves, nature areas, marine and coastal areas and other areas of significant biodiversity or with potential trans-boundary impact, a more detailed environmental study may be carried out.
Technical agencies, nature groups and community stakeholders are consulted on the findings of the environmental studies for JTC projects, including the extent of potential impact and the proposed mitigation measures to be implemented. The studies will also be published online.
JTC will assess all feedback received from nature groups and community stakeholders before seeking planning approval from the Ministry of National Development/Urban Redevelopment Authority for the project. Mitigation measures and any monitoring plans will be put in place to minimise any environmental impact before the commencement of any works.

CleanTech Park and Bahar Industrial Estates (Jurong Innovation District)
|
JTC is developing Jurong Innovation District (JID), a 620ha next-generation industrial district which aims to create 95,000 jobs while driving economic growth. Developed in phases as an advanced manufacturing hub, JID comprises five precincts –CleanTech Park, Bahar, Bulim, Tengah and Nanyang Technological University. Land preparation and infrastructure works are being planned for future industrial developments in CleanTech Park and Bahar. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted in 2025 to assess the potential environmental impacts and recommended mitigation measures to minimise them. 1. EIA Report Public feedback for the environmental study report was sought from 1 December 2025 to 28 December 2025. We will carefully consider all feedback received before finalising the EIA report and development plans. |

Woodlands North Coast (South of Admiralty Road West) |
JTC is planning to carry out land clearance, land preparation, building and infrastructure works at Woodlands North Coast, South of Admiralty Road West. This is to ensure infra-ready prepared land will be available to support new industrial development in the precinct when the Johor Bahru – Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is expected to commence passenger service at the end of 2026. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted in 2024 to assess the potential environmental impacts and propose mitigation measures for the project.

Tengah Heavy Vehicle Park |
JTC is planning to develop an interim public heavy vehicle park (439 lots) at Tengah. This interim heavy vehicle park located next to the Jurong Region Line Depot will be a replacement for the existing Bulim heavy vehicle park (also 439 lots) along Bulim Avenue. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted in 2024 to assess the potential environmental impacts and propose mitigation measures for the project. The EIA study assessed that the development will not cause significant impacts to the environment, and the potential short-term impacts during the construction phase can be minimised to acceptable levels with the implementation of mitigation measures, regular inspections and effective feedback management during construction phase and upon completion. Pursuant to the report and further study on mitigation measures, JTC will be undertaking stream realignment works to mitigate impact to the upstream and downstream habitats of freshwater fauna such as the Crescent Betta (Betta imbellis) fish. 1. EIA Report We will carefully consider all feedback received before finalising the EIA report. |

Northeastern Coast of Lorong Halus and East Johor Strait |
JTC plans to carry out land reclamation at the northeastern coast of Lorong Halus to support future demand for industrial and special uses. In the vicinity, SFA has plans to develop aquaculture in the East Johor Strait (EJS) to build the local agri-food industry’s capability and capacity. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted for each project to determine the potential environmental impact and recommend suitable mitigation measures. Due to the proximity of JTC’s Lorong Halus Reclamation and SFA’s planned development in the EJS, a cumulative assessment was carried out in the EIA for the EJS development. If you would like to view the report(s), please contact JTC officers, Ms Yukie Ngoh at Yukie_NGOH@jtc.gov.sg and Ms Joan Lim at Joan_LIM@jtc.gov.sg, and SFA officer, Mr Desmond Tan at Desmond_cp_tan@sfa.gov.sg. |

Northern Coast of Woodlands |
JTC, on behalf of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, plans to carry out land reclamation at the northern coast of Woodlands to support the expansion and redevelopment works of Woodlands Checkpoint. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted to determine the potential environmental impact and recommend suitable mitigation measures. If you would like to view the report, please contact Mr Su Ziheng at SU_Ziheng@jtc.gov.sg or Ms Joanna Yit at Joanna_YIT@jtc.gov.sg. |

Northern Tuas Basin |
JTC will be carrying out land reclamation at Northern Tuas Basin (NTB) to support companies that will be affected by JTC and URA’s ongoing plans to rejuvenate the older parts of Jurong and Tuas Industrial Estates, and to meet new industrial land demand. The NTB reclamation also provides land to support future infrastructure and road network connections to Tuas South and Tuas Port, to meet the projected increased traffic demand. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was conducted to determine the potential environmental impact of the project. It also recommends mitigation measures as well as an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) to ensure compliance with the Environmental Quality Objectives (EQOs) set for the project.

Agri-Food Innovation Park |
Agri-Food Innovation Park will be a pilot cluster to catalyse innovation in the agri-tech ecosystem, to bring together high-tech urban indoor farming, food production including alternative proteins, and associated R&D activities. Besides helping to improve productivity of local farms and reinforce Singapore’s food security, there is potential for Singapore to develop a model for urban food production that can be exported to the region, along with the associated high-value inputs and solutions. A Fauna Baseline Study (FBS) and Sediment Load Study (SLS) were conducted in 2021 to better guide development plans in the area. The reports have identified the potential impacts of the proposed development plans to biodiversity in the area and sediment load in nearby waterways. 1.
