Keppel Club will move to its new golf course in Lornie by the fourth quarter of this year, vacating its existing site to make way for new Housing Board flats in the Greater Southern Waterfront.
Keppel's lease was initially due to lapse on Dec 31 last year, but the Singapore Land Authority granted an extension to facilitate the club's move to the Singapore Island Country Club's Sime Course.
The lease for Keppel's golf course in Bukit Chermin Road now expires on June 30 this year.
New landscaped terraces and green corridor features will also be integrated into the development to facilitate "ecological movement" and create new habitats to attract and protect biodiversity, as guided by recommendations from an environmental study and feedback from nature groups.
It was previously announced that about 9,000 new homes will be built on the Keppel Club site, with about two-thirds being Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats.
Mr Lee said in April 2022 that the first BTO project on the site would be launched for sale within three years.
