Plans for the western half, considered to be richer in biodiversity with more threatened flora species, will be revisited in about a decade.
Even then, the HDB's plans for the eastern half of Ulu Pandan will still incorporate plenty of green features.

Other green features include a terraced rain garden, which will mitigate the level difference between Commonwealth Avenue West and Ulu Pandan estate.
