It would also remove the need for organisations to outbid one another for land, thus making new plots cheaper for organisations.
Prices under the new framework vary based on location, lease tenure and other specific features relevant to the site, said the spokesperson. The temple at Gambas Crescent will be on a 1,987.9 sq m space that must have a gross floor area of at least 2,863 sq m and not more than 3,181 sq m. Given its proximity to Sembawang Air Base, the temple’s design must also ensure that users cannot view air base activities from within the temple.
