Pulau Brani to Become the Newer Sentosa

Pulau Brani is a port terminal that sits in between the mainland and Sentosa.

Following rejuvenation plans, Pulau Brani will soon be turned into a theme park, housing a new resort called Downtown South for National Trades Union Congress. This plan is part of a much larger area to be redeveloped known as the Greater Southern Waterfront.

The Greater Southern Waterfront is a 30km coastline from the East area of Gardens by the Bay to Pasir Panjang. The land area is estimated at 2,000ha which is approximately six times the size of Marina Bay and twice the size of Punggol.

This idea was first introduced in 2013 during the National Day Rally.

Quoting PM Lee, “With the Greater Southern Waterfront the size of two Punggols, you get a sense of the possibilities. Think of it as ‘Punggol by the Bay’.”

The Greater Southern Waterfront aims to connect residential areas, linking with its surrounding West Coast Park to East Coast Park. Sentosa and the Rail Corridor extending from Tanjong Pagar to Woodlands will also be connected. Sentosa beaches will be rejuvenated and heritage trails will be enhanced. The Keppel Club will also make way for 9,000 public and private housing units.

Pasir Panjang will also be redeveloped starting from its two old power stations. Port terminals of PSA International at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Pulau Brani and Pasir Panjang will also be relocated to the new Tuas port.

Quoting PM Lee, “When PSA moves out of the city and Pasir Panjang terminals, these old spaces will once again be vacant, another blank slate. A new generation will have another opportunity to imagine and build part of their vision for Singapore.”

These plans will help to envision a greater and more attractive Singapore in the near future.
