SINGAPORE: To free up more office space in the city for the private sector, several government agencies will be relocated to Jurong Gateway and Paya Lebar Central, announced National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan.
The relocation would be timely as, "by 2015, the current supply of about 1 million square metres of office space in the pipeline should have been taken up", said Mr Mah.
The Ministry of National Development (MND) and its statutory boards, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority and Building and Construction Authority, will move to Jurong Gateway by 2015.
The Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and its statutory boards, the Public Utilities Board and National Environment Agency, are also planning to relocate to Jurong Gateway then.
The Workforce Development Agency and its new Continuing Education and Training Campus, which is targeted to be completed by end-2013, will move to Paya Lebar Central.
