Lim Chu Kang

Wetlands, farms and the north-western coast make up a planning area where SingStat recorded 20 residents in June 2026.

What Lim Chu Kang is

Lim Chu Kang is a North Region planning area of 17.58 square kilometres on the north-west coast, bordered by the Western Water Catchment and Sungei Kadut. It is one of the few remaining rural parts of Singapore, with farms, nature reserves and military land, and SingStat recorded 20 residents there in June 2026, with every age and dwelling breakdown published as nil or negligible.

Nature reserves and parks

NParks lists six park points here: Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and its Southern Extension, Kranji Marshes, Kranji Coastal Nature Park, part of Kranji Reservoir Park and the Native Plant Centre. Sungei Buloh, a mangrove reserve known for migratory shorebirds, has its visitor centre inside the planning area on OneMap's records.

On the 2025 boundary, Kranji Reservoir Park's B section moved into Lim Chu Kang from Sungei Kadut. It was the only one of the 5,700 or so points we re-placed for this site whose planning area changed between the 2019 and 2025 maps.
