David Hoe on Statutes (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
How will the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s enhanced role in transport and infrastructure planning improve coordination and responsiveness to the ground? Will it help agencies better identify gaps and address them? MP David Hoe asked this in parliament on Thursday (May 7), citing long-standing requests by elderly residents in his constituency for lifts at overhead bridges. Mr Hoe also said he supports recognising pre-qualification of practical experience for architects and professional engineers. However, as pathways are made more flexible, standards must not be diluted, he said, especially where public safety is at stake in the built environment.
