Singapore’s Sentosa and Brani Island will add a brand new transport hub that connects the two islands. The new facility will feature lifestyle projects and hotels. The Singapore government also plans to upgrade the Sentosa monorail to improve connectivity.
Minister of State for Trade and Industry and National Development Low Yen Ling said during the Committee of Supply debate on the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s budget on March 2 that the Singapore government will develop Sentosa and Brani Island (Greater Sentosa Island) into a world-class tourism and leisure destination. It will be equipped with an upgraded transport system and integrated transport hub, and offer a diverse range of lifestyle experiences. The first phase of the Sentosa master redevelopment plan has commenced.
She said that the authorities will also rejuvenate Sentosa’s beaches and implement coastal protection measures, so that visitors can enjoy the beaches while the island is also protected from the impact of rising sea levels.
She noted that Sentosa will welcome new landmarks such as the Imbiah Canopy. This new landmark will serve as a beacon on Imbiah Hill, guiding visitors to cultural buildings and nature trails.
More details on the Sentosa master redevelopment plan will be announced later this year.
