Long Island to be reclaimed off East Coast could add 800ha of land and Singapore’s 18th reservoir
SINGAPORE – Three tracts of land could be reclaimed off East Coast Park in the coming decades, creating about 800ha of land for new homes and other amenities, as well as a new reservoir.
Collectively called the Long Island, these land tracts are Singapore’s response to the threat of rising sea levels and inland flooding in the East Coast area. Land in the area is largely lower than 5m above the mean sea level, the extent that sea levels are projected to rise to by the end of this century if extreme high tides coincide with storm surges.

Officials had in the last few years hinting further reclamation with extensive coastal protection involving mix use of dikes, tidal barrier systems and enhanced reclamation to prepare for climate change and against sea-level rise. Now we finally see the intend being turn into plan and action.

Me thinks the current coastal sandy beach likely will be gone as sea waves will be blocked by the "Long Island", and replaced by fresh water reservoir along the entire existing EC Park.
The future of the popular East Coast sandy beach maybe in doubt.

The question is where is sg going to get all the soil and sand to base. Where are the targeted mountains to bring down. Or that is why all the plastics wastes from us and Europe are shipped and driven into Asia.

Up to 60,000 new homes will likely be built on the upcoming “Long Island” reclaimed site at East Coast Park’s shoreline, property analysts told CNA.
So all those sea-view condoms along East Coast Park will be devalued?

Probably. They will still have a view of the reservoir instead of the sea which may be better. East Coast Park will still exist.

very good decision to include reservoir in the building. living etc. the property development will help recover part of cost. increased usable land for singapore. if do selective enbloc to renew hdb will be helpful to recycle the old concrete to for the filling of the island.
if give enough notice (years ahead) and a variable lease terms it will reduce resistant. most will welcome enbloc.
but then it will hit old retired hard. so work in giving them even better units with renovation and adjustment to their needs will also reduced resistance. while more hdb is build if old units are not removed singapore will face over supply. stop build is not a solution as who do not want to at least have once a new house as home.
