Number of Older HDB Multi-storey Car Parks Installed with Lifts

45 Miss Cheng Li Hui asked the Minister for National Development (a) over the last five years, what is the number of older HDB multi-storey car parks that have been installed with lifts; (b) what is the number of car parks earmarked for future lift installations; and (c) what is the cost of such installations and subsequent maintenance of the lifts.

Mr Lawrence Wong: Over the last five years, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has completed lift installation works for 510, or about 94%, of the 544 older HDB multi-storey car parks (MSCP) without lifts. Works are planned or already ongoing for the remaining 34 car parks to ensure that they are fitted with lifts or other barrier-free access solutions, such as ramps.

The average cost to install a lift in an MSCP is about $350,000, while the average maintenance cost is about $13,000 per year.
