Part 1: Introduction & Resources

HDB's description of this site: Living Close to Nature, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats, EastGlen @ Canberra is bounded by Canberra Crescent and Canberra Walk. It comprises 4 residential blocks that are 13 storeys high. You can choose your home from 310 units of 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats.

The name 'EastGlen @ Canberra' connotes lush valley landscapes and aptly describes the development's verdant landscape and location near the scenic Sungei Simpang Kiri.

Please refer to the site plan for the facilities to be provided in EastGlen @ Canberra. The facilities in this development will be opened to the public.

Part 2: In 1966 the EastGlen site was actually one of the three main sources where rainwater flows towards the Sungei Simpang river:

Directly above HDB EastGlen at 12 O'clock was the Sembawang Village:

Sembawang Road remains unchanged till to-date. And the Sembawang Village is now a large vacant plot of land.. which will slowly being developed.

Thus this plot (HDB EastGlen) has nothing out of the ordinary to be concerned about. And can be considered to be a virgin plot of land.

Nothing like one see of a former cemetry or a market. Market land is not good as in the past, lots of slaughter has gone on of poultry and other livestock.

This photo shows clearly the former Sembawang Village. If we continue the road to the right, it will lead us directly to Sembawang Park.

Part 3: Should we be too concerned with the drainage on this plot of land?

1. Normally, if the drainage is not covered, the Shapes and Forms: Water Classics applies especially to the yellow highlighted stacks.

2. Here, we need to carefully understand:

a. The drainage flow direction
b. Flow rate like? Gentle or Fast. (Of course, affected by the seasons: rainy or dry season)

3. Since the site plan indicates: "Drainage Reserve" Covered, then this is fine or okay or no issue.

4. Common sense (not really Feng Shui, here) is that if the soil beside the drainage is always damp; and if there is no termite treatment; there is a high chance of a termite infestation of homes near-by to this canal.

Part 4: Steer clear of low floor units facing or nearby to the Precinct Pavilion (PP).

1. As this develop has only 310 units, there is only one Precinct Pavilion.

2. One cannot control the activities within the PP especially funerals and on one's auspicious festive holidays like Chinese New Year.

3. If possible, avoid purchasing low floor units that either overlook into the PP or nearby to it.

3.1 Stacks #340 and #330 = low floors over looking into the PP.
3.2 Stacks #328, #332 and #350 nearby to the PP.

Part 5: Where are the location of the bins (recycle & common) in my block?

1. If possible, try to give these two stacks/units a miss:-

Stack #346 = Unit Kitchen wall next to bin lobby and close-by to the main door.

#308 = Main Door facing a bin.

2. How about also giving this stack/unit a miss? If you can?

3330 = Unit close-by to the bins.
