Desmond Tan on permits for quieter construction works on Sundays and public holidays
Construction works are not allowed on Sundays and public holidays at sites located within 150 metres from any hospital, home for the aged sick or residential building. Contractors can apply for permits from the National Environment Agency to carry out specific types of quieter construction works on Sundays and public holidays. In the current Transition Phase to COVID-19 Resilience, 79 ongoing construction projects have been granted permits for such works. In comparison, 70 such permits were granted during the preceding Stabilisation Phase. Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Desmond Tan gave this update in reply to an MP's questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 9).
