2024年7月2日，新加坡國家發展部長李智陞在國會書面答覆宏茂橋集選區議員顏添寶有關縮短預購組屋交付時間的問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
顏添寶（宏茂橋集選區議員）先生詢問國家發展部長：建屋局是否可以審查其BTO建設計劃和政策，以縮短從成功申請之日到領取鑰匙之日的等候時間至約18個月，同時考慮到從疫情造成的延誤中吸取的教訓？
李智陞（國家發展部長）先生：建屋局 (HDB) 一直在積極努力減少預購組屋 (BTO) 的等待時間。2023年，近70%的組屋的等待時間為4年或更短。這回到了疫情前的水平，大多數預購組屋 (BTO) 項目的等待時間為3到4 年，而疫情高峰期為4到5年。
2023 年，我們承諾到2025年每年推出2,000至3,000套等候時間較短組屋（Shorter Waiting Time flats，簡稱SWT) 的單位。這些單位的等候時間少於三年。通過與機構和建築合作夥伴密切合作，建屋局將提前一年實現這一目標。我們今年將提供約2,800套等候時間較短組屋（SWT）單位。展望未來，建屋局的目標是每年推出約2,000至3,000套等候時間較短組屋（SWT）單位。
等待預購組屋 (BTO) 單位完工的合格家庭還可以利用育兒短期住屋計劃 (PPHS) 獲得臨時住房支持。建屋局將在 2025 年前將育兒短期住屋計劃 (PPHS) 供應量進一步增加一倍至 4,000 套單位。與此同時，符合條件的家庭還可以利用育兒短期住屋計劃 (PPHS) （公開市場）補助券來支付在公開市場上租用組屋或臥室的費用。
推出更多等候時間較短組屋（SWT）單位，在實際操作和運營方面都存在挑戰。其中包括困難的選址條件、棕色地塊所需的大量土地平整、與利益相關團體協商的必要性以及建築行業的能力。建屋局將繼續創新，以提高效率為目標，我們仍致力於盡快為新加坡人提供組屋。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development whether HDB can review its BTO building programme and policy to shorten the waiting time to about 18 months, from the date of successful application to the date the keys are collected, considering the lessons learnt from the delays caused by the pandemic.
Mr Desmond Lee: The Housing and Development Board (HDB) has been actively working to reduce the waiting time for Build-To-Order (BTO) flats. In 2023, close to 70% of the flats had a waiting time of four years or less. This is back to pre-pandemic levels where the majority of BTO projects had a waiting time of three to four years, compared to the pandemic peak of four to five years.
In 2023, we committed to launching 2,000 to 3,000 shorter waiting time (SWT) flats per year by 2025. These are flats with waiting times of less than three years. Working closely with agencies and our construction partners, HDB will meet this target one year ahead of schedule. We will offer about 2,800 SWT flats this year. Going forward, HDB targets to launch about 2,000 to 3,000 SWT flats per year.
Eligible families awaiting the completion of their BTO flats can also tap on the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) for interim housing support. HDB will further double the PPHS supply to 4,000 flats by 2025. In the meantime, eligible families may also tap on the PPHS (Open Market) Voucher to defray the cost of renting an HDB flat or bedroom in the open market.
There are practical and operational challenges to launching more SWT flats. These include difficult site conditions, extensive land preparation required for brownfield sites, need for consultation with stakeholder groups, and construction industry capacity. HDB will continue to innovate and aim for higher efficiency and we remain committed to deliver flats as quickly as possible to Singaporeans.
