The continuous coastline will be made accessible through waterfront promenades and parks.
Singapore’s southern coastline will eventually comprise the Greater Southern Waterfront, Marina Bay, Kallang Basin and the future Long Island project.
Speaking about these plans in his maiden National Day Rally speech on Aug 18, PM Wong said these major investments “will take decades to bear fruit”, as did plans to reclaim and develop Marina Bay, which began right after Singapore gained independence in 1965. New recreational, sporting and lifestyle attractions as well as waterfront residential precincts will progressively be introduced around Marina Bay, Marina Channel and Kallang Basin.

Sports, recreational and healthcare facilities as well as schools and parks will be included in the precinct, for which detailed development plans are being studied, said the agency. He noted, however, that many coastal developments abroad have become exclusive living spaces for the affluent. Careful planning, particularly in the provision of housing, is therefore needed for Singapore’s waterfront precincts not to go down this path.
