As we conclude the Financial Year 2023/2024, I would like to thank our Town Councillors and stakeholders for their contributions in ensuring our town and its residents are thriving. Together, we have made clear and collective progress in securing the holistic well-being of our residents.

The cornerstone of our remarkable progress in township management lies in productive partnerships, shared collaborations, and aligned stakeholders. While global economic and political headwinds ensue, Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council has displayed resilience and dedication in navigating these challenges, making a positive difference in residents’ lives through local initiatives and efforts.

Despite rising cost of infrastructural projects, we are proud to share that we have successfully completed several key projects and initiatives that we have set out for this financial year. We are optimistic that residents are eagerly looking forward to these enhancements in their neighbourhoods. This anticipation underscores our shared vision for a vibrant and thriving community. At the same time, I sincerely thank our residents for their understanding and support when we raised S&CC charges as part of our collective fiscal responsibility to ensure the town is well-maintained for you and your family.

As the financial year 2022/2023 comes to a close, I would like to express my gratitude for your unwavering support, collaborative spirit and efforts throughout the year in defining our progress and journey. I am also pleased to share our achievements in this report.

Over the last twelve months, our town has undergone significant improvement and progress. We have also paid considerable attention to effective resource management and financial prudence in successfully completing several key projects and initiatives outlined in our plans. We are confident residents eagerly look forward to these enhancements in their neighbourhoods.

The financial year (FY 2021/2022) marks a significant milestone on our journey towards a more sustainable Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council. Another fulfilling year has passed as we continue to work on both initiatives in keeping our town sustainable and inclusive.

Our Town Council has always prided itself with delivering excellent township governance for our residents. I am pleased to share that we have achieved the top band (Green) for all the indicators graded in the Town Council Management Report, which includes performance in Estate Cleanliness, Estate Maintenance, Lift Performance and S&CC Arrears Management. We are committed towards maintaining these standards, and we thank our staff members, councillors and stakeholders for working alongside in making this possible.

Apart from estate cleanliness and maintaining town’s facilities, we recognize that township governance needs to evolve towards more sustainable ways of carrying out our duties to residents and stakeholders. To fulfil our sustainability commitments set in 2017, we have launched our second Sustainability Report with a renewed focus on eight Sustainability Development Goals for our town.

The published report titled, “Sustainable Town, Resilient Community”, is an affirmation of our alignment with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, as well as our residents’ wishes for our town to adopt more sustainable practices. To date, we have achieved 54 out of 121 targets, and I am pleased to announce that we are on track towards achieving the remaining targets by 2030.
