Are amendments allowed after submission at each Gateway?

Yes, the project team can submit amendment plans for approval. Design changes often occur during the design and construction phases. Depending on the extent of changes, amendment submissions may be required at the appropriate Gateways.

The Design Gateway, being the first gateway, is intended to clear the key planning parameters and guide the subsequent design. Therefore, unless there are major changes, there is no need to re-clear Design Gateway. Minor deviation or changes to the approved DG can be incorporated in the subsequent Gateways (i.e. Piling Gateway and Construction Gateway).

For amendment to Piling Gateway and Construction Gateway, amendment is only required where there are material changes. If the deviations consist of only immaterial changes, it can be submitted to agencies as record plan / as-built plan or be incorporated the next time the project makes an amendment plan submission.

To guide you through this process, we have prepared a detailed document to outline when an amendment plan submission is required and where applicable, capturing the changes in the record plan will suffice. This document, Guide to Amendment Plan Submission on CORENET X, is available on the CORENET X website at https://info.corenet.gov.sg/regulatory-process/about-the-new-submission-process/submission-workflows. Similar to today’s practice, amendment plan fees would apply.
