Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Town consists of Braddell Heights, Geylang Serai, Kembangan, Marine Parade, MacPherson, and Mountbatten. Since 1989, we have had the privilege of working alongside our residents in the Town.

Together, we’ve successfully fostered vibrant neighbourhoods, each with its own distinct identity and sense of belonging.

Over the years, initiatives of the Town Council and partner agencies have transformed our Town into a warmer and more inclusive home where we can live, work and play — enjoying modern comforts within a friendly community.

We’re proud to care for our community and we’ll always be here for you.

Repair & Redecoration (R&R) Works
Reroofing
Rewiring
Replacement of Booster Pumps and Transfer Pumps
Replacement of Water Pipes and Water Tanks
Replacement of Refuse Chute Flushing Systems
Replacement of Fire Fighting and Protection Systems

Linkways, ramps, playgrounds, fitness corners — these are some of the facilities we’ve constructed through our Town Improvement Projects that are tailored to the needs of our residents.

With these improvements, we ensure that each precinct has its own uniqueness and that residents will have a more conducive environment to live in.

As Singapore is a modern city, we believe our residents should enjoy a modern Marine Parade Town with modern facilities.

The NRPs are carried out to enhance our HDB neighbourhoods, improving the quality of life for our residents.

We want our residents to have smoother and safer rides home. That’s why we carry out cyclical lift replacements and improvements, including:

Lift Enhancement Programme
Lift Replacement Programme
Lift Parts Cyclical Replacement

HIP helps to address common maintenance problems of ageing flats, ensuring a better living experience for all.

The programme will include optional EASE (Enhancement for Active Seniors) improvements to enhance safety and comfort for seniors.

To make roads safer for seniors and students, residential areas with a high proportion of seniors have been designated Silver Zones with a reduced speed limit of 30km/h to 40km/h.

Other features to assist our senior residents include additional crossing points and lanes with reduced width to slow down traffic.

This programme develops and upgrades infrastructure in ageing private estates by enhancing their physical conditions and living environment.

Where possible, EUP works are integrated with improvement works by other agencies to better cater to residents’ needs.

WeCare For Our Environment

Nothing is more precious than the Earth we live in. Because of that, it’s important to embrace a greener way of life to sustain and nourish the land around us.

WeCare For Our Estate

“Home is where the heart is”, so the saying goes. By looking after our estates, we can better provide a comfortable life for our residents and create well-maintained homes and facilities that we can be proud of.

WeCare For Our Community

When we care for and appreciate one another, it creates a sense of belonging so we will always feel supported. That’s why it’s important to foster an inclusive and tight knit community in our estates.

WeCare For Our Health

When we take care of our body, we can live a longer and healthier life with our loved ones. That’s why it’s important to keep fit and active.

Installation of Upcycled/
Repurposed MRT Seats (2-Seaters)

Have you noticed seats around your block that look similar to train seats? Those are old MRT seats that have been repurposed as rest-stops. By partnering with the Land Transport Authority (LTA), we have repurposed 40 sets of old MRT train seats, transforming them into amenities to help reduce wastage while benefitting our residents.

Textile Recycle Bins

In April 2023, 18 textile recycle bins were spread out within Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Town in collaboration with a private textile recycling company. These bins provide residents with a convenient avenue to recycle their old and unwanted clothes, soft toys, shoes, bags, and hats. Our residents have shown inspiring support, with 226,818 kg of upcycled items being collected from April 2023 to April 2024.

Solar PV Installation

In sunny Singapore, there are many opportunities to make use of solar energy for greater sustainability. That’s why we’ve installed Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels at the rooftops of another 143 HDB blocks within Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Town, bringing the total to 260 HDB blocks. In the next few years, more HDB blocks within our Town will be retrofitted with Solar PV panels. This initiative is estimated to reduce 11,283,802.69 kg of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing approximately 3,758 cars from the road or powering 6,268 4-room HDB flats each year.

EV Charger Deployment at Car Parks

In alignment with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, we’ve created 77 EV charging points across 35 car parks in our HDB neighbourhoods. In the future, more charging points will be installed to support the increasing adoption of electric vehicles. We’re playing our part in promoting a sustainable living and reducing our carbon footprint — it’s always good to go green.

Deployment of Wood Chipper Machines

As part of our horticultural contract, we’ve included the deployment of wood chipper machines within the Town since August 2022. These wood chipper machines can convert horticultural waste into compost for healthy trees. It was recorded that 93.5 tonnes of waste were reused as mulching within 21 months.

Litter-picking and Tree-planting Events

Every year, litter-picking and tree-planting events are held across our Town. It’s extremely heartwarming to see our residents actively participating in these cleaning and planting events alongside our Members of Parliament (MPs) — fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility while strengthening community bonds. It also provides the opportunity for us to show our appreciation to our dedicated cleaners for their unwavering efforts in keeping our estate neat and tidy.

E-waste Collection

Through our partnership with ALBA Singapore, as well as the efforts of our residents, we’ve collected and recycled 86,685 kg of e-waste via e-drives, e-waste bins, and bulky waste removal from April 2023 to March 2024.
