Bishan and Toa Payoh URA Master Plan 2019
The URA Master Plan 2019 envisions a vibrant, interconnected community in Bishan and Toa Payoh, offering new infrastructure, enhanced services, and sustainable living environments. Here’s how the plan will transform this region into a thriving hub of modern conveniences, green spaces, and community-focused development:
1. New Nursing Homes – Care for Our Seniors
The plan includes the development of new nursing homes in tranquil locations, including:
- Potong Pasir Avenue 1, alongside the scenic Kallang River.
- Venus Drive, next to the serene Windsor Nature Park. In addition, the nursing home at Potong Pasir will feature a senior care centre, offering a seamless blend of healthcare and elderly-friendly amenities.
This initiative focuses on promoting eldercare in peaceful, accessible environments, helping seniors feel connected to nature and the community while receiving top-quality care.
2. New MRT Stations – Seamless Connectivity
The Bright Hill Station will become a major interchange for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and the upcoming Cross Island Line (CRL), set to be completed in 2029. This station, along with the new Upper Thomson TEL Station, will significantly improve the region’s connectivity, making travel faster and more convenient for residents.
With easier access to public transport, commuting will become a breeze, boosting the area’s attractiveness for families, professionals, and businesses alike.
3. Bishan Sub-Regional Centre – A Hub for Work and Community
Bishan is set to undergo a transformation into an employment node with the creation of the Bishan Sub-Regional Centre (SRC). Well-connected via public transport, the SRC will feature integrated facilities that serve both workers and residents, creating an ideal place to work, live, and play.
This integrated hub promises to create jobs and attract new businesses, while also providing much-needed services and amenities for the local community.
4. Upgraded Community Clubs – Enhanced Facilities for All
Bishan’s community infrastructure will receive a significant boost with new and refreshed facilities at:
- Bishan Community Club, catering to seniors with specialized amenities like a gym and new facilities to promote active aging.
- Thomson Community Club, undergoing an exciting upgrade.
- Bishan North Community Club, which will be relocated and co-located with a new NKF dialysis centre to better serve residents’ healthcare needs.
This revamp will ensure that community spaces continue to be vibrant hubs of activity for people of all ages, promoting fitness, wellness, and social connection.
5. Mt. Alvernia Expansion – Healthcare for Families
The renowned Mt. Alvernia Hospital is expanding its services with a new wing focused on family-centric healthcare. This enhancement will offer greater access to quality medical care, benefiting the growing population in the Bishan-Toa Payoh area.
Residents can expect a modernized, patient-focused healthcare experience designed with the needs of families in mind.
6. Toa Payoh Community Hub – A Sports and Leisure Destination
The iconic Toa Payoh Town Centre is set to be revitalized as a vibrant sports and community hub, integrating new sports facilities and community spaces for residents. This new one-stop convenience will bring a mix of leisure, fitness, and community activities right into the heart of Toa Payoh.
The hub will provide residents with a lively place to gather, relax, and stay active, enhancing the quality of life for the whole community.
7. Enhancing Inter- and Intra-Town Connectivity
Say goodbye to traffic stress! A seamless walking and cycling route will be developed to connect Bishan, Toa Payoh, and neighboring towns. The new park connectors will run along the Kallang River, linking to the city centre. Key developments include:
- New cycling routes across Braddell Road and the Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

With these improvements, walking or cycling between towns will be more enjoyable and convenient, reducing the reliance on cars and contributing to a greener, healthier lifestyle for residents.
