SINGAPORE - Service and conservancy charges will be raised twice over the next two years for Housing Board residents, shops, offices, markets and food stalls under PAP town councilsThe first increase, which takes effect from July 1, will have monthly fees rising by between $0.70 and $7.90 for HDB flats. Commercial property owners and tenants will also see an increase ranging from $0.01 to $0.40 per sq m. Market and food stalls will have their fees hiked between $2.20 and $31.50.
Announcing this on Thursday, the Marine Parade Town Council said the fee hikes are smaller than they would have been, because PAP town councils are receiving special funding support from the Government to cushion the impact of rising maintenance costs. The town councils have been facing greater cost pressures due to higher energy prices, maintenance and manpower costs, said MPTC, citing high tender rates for cleaning, pest control and landscaping services.
Coordinating chairman for PAP town councils Lim Biow Chuan said most PAP Town Councils had expected to run a deficit for the financial year from 2023 to 2024 if S&CC rates remain unchanged.
