Application Process

Applicants will require SingPass to log in to the NEA portal for the necessary submission. The details to be submitted should be in compliance with SS 593:2013 Code of Practice for Pollution Control.

Special Note for Tenants

For tenants, it is crucial to obtain the in-principle approval from NEA as part of the lease agreement requirements set by landlords. This ensures that the premises are suitable for the intended use and comply with all relevant environmental regulations.

By adhering to the above checklist and submission process, applicants can ensure a smooth and compliant application to the NEA Industrial Siting Consultation.
