New HDB parking scheme for regularly Parents Visiting

A series of focus group discussions and public dialogues known as the HDB Heartware Forum saw residents come up with ideas to preserve family and community ties when it was held earlier this year.

In response, the government will be implementing a new Family Season Parking Scheme to make it easier for children to visit their parents regularly.

HDB will be offering a 50 percent discount for the second season parking ticket to HDB residents who have already bought a regular season parking ticket at their own residential car parks.

Currently, HDB residents pay season parking rates of S$65 per month to S$90 per month, depending on the kind of car parks they have at their estates.

Under this family support scheme, they can enjoy savings of S$32.50 per month to S$45 per month when they purchase a second season parking ticket to park at their parents' HDB car parks.

HDB will also refine its priority schemes for flat allocation, so that newlyweds will have a higher chance of getting a place near their parents in HDB sales exercises.
