Neighbourhood Renewal Programme
Encyclopedia
The Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP), was introduced by HDB during the National Day Rally
in August 2007, is set to replace the IUP Plus. It focuses on block and neighbourhood improvements, and is fully funded by the government. Flats built up to 1989 which have not undergone the Main Upgrading Programme
, Interim Upgrading Programme or IUP Plus are eligible for NRP. NRP is implemented on a larger area basis of 2 or more contigous precincts. There will be greater local consultation on the design proposal and facilities to be provided through public forums such as town hall meetings, surveys and dialogue sessions where residents will be able to voice their views and also hear the concerns of their fellow residents.
Where feasible, other improvement works or upgrading programmes with separate funding may also be carried out in tandem with NRP to minimise inconvenience to the residents, eg Revitalization of Shops Scheme (ROS), upgrading of neighbourhood park and works to improve barrier-free accessibility.
