What the Boon Lay planning area is
Boon Lay is a West Region planning area of 8.28 square kilometres, on the coast south of Jurong West and west of Jurong East, with Pioneer to its west. Its land is largely industrial, around the Jurong Pier and Jurong Hill side of the Jurong industrial estate. SingStat recorded 30 residents in June 2026, and its age and dwelling breakdowns for the area are all shown as nil or negligible.
A common mix-up
The name causes confusion. Boon Lay MRT station, the Boon Lay Place food centre and the Boon Lay HDB neighbourhoods are all inside the Jurong West planning area on URA's map, not here. Anyone researching a home "in Boon Lay" almost certainly wants the Jurong West profile.
Rail
LTA's exit data shows no station exits inside the Boon Lay planning area today.
Stations announced with a date (LTA):
| Station | Code | Opening (LTA) |
|---|---|---|
| Tukang | JS10 | 2029 |
| Jurong Hill | JS11 | 2029 |
| Jurong Pier | JS12 | 2029 |
The Jurong Region Line will change that. LTA lists the line's third stage for 2029, extending south from Boon Lay station through Enterprise to Tukang, Jurong Hill and Jurong Pier. URA's Master Plan 2025 rail layer places those last three stations inside this planning area.
Facilities
With so few residents, the agencies' lists show no MOE school, NEA hawker centre, polyclinic, community club or NParks park inside the boundary, and no CHAS clinic on MOH's June 2024 list. Everyday services are in Jurong West and Jurong East.
Why it has a page
Every URA planning area has a resident figure in SingStat's table, including industrial ones like this. Covering all 55 keeps our planning-area table in step with SingStat's national total.
