The uncertainty of sea level rise projections presents significant planning challenges to protect Singapore. Singapore has undertaken local measures to protect its infrastructure and living environment against the risk of rising sea levels. Since 2011, minimum platform levels for new development projects have been raised to four metres above the Singapore Height Datum (SHD).4 New critical infrastructure, such as the Tuas Port and Changi Airport Terminal 5, will have platforms raised even higher, to at least five metres above the SHD.
Infrastructure New critical infrastructure, such as the Tuas Port and Changi Airport Terminal 5, will have platforms raised even higher, to at least five metres above the SHD. These various coastal protection measures will not only help overcome the challenges of sea level rise, but also present new exciting opportunities for new green and blue community spaces for Singaporeans.
