Where the proposal stands
A vision to develop together.

Site photographs and drawings come from the supplied proposal. Architectural concept renderings illustrate the intended experience.
A few practical questionsA park people
A park people
can believe in.
Who is this park for?
The proposal is for a public coastal park: a place to walk, sit with family, watch wildlife and reach the beach. It was initiated by residents, with the wider public in mind.
Who is behind the proposal?
Residents commissioned professional landscape architectural input. The Tanjong Bunga Residents’ Association (TBRA) is advocating for the alternative to be heard and evaluated.
What about safety and access?
The concept proposes better paths, handrails, resting places and an accessible lower viewing terrace. Detailed slope, coastal and access studies must establish what can be safely delivered.
Who will fund and maintain it?
Funding and long-term maintenance arrangements need to be agreed as the design develops. The concept proposes phased delivery, beginning with access, safety and habitat protection.
