The Design Advisory Panel (DAP) Stage 1 and 2 review process will be carried out prior to the Design Gateway (DG) and Construction Gateway (CG) submission respectively. This would be akin to a pre-submission consultation. It is meant to facilitate the DG and CG clearance process and reduce abortive work for consultants and agencies.
As per today’s practice, the Applicant is to inform URA by way of email, at least 4 weeks (20 working days) in advance, on the submission date of the design proposal, to secure the availability of the various DAP members for the DAP session. The DAP session will take place approximately 3 to 4 weeks (15 to 20 working days) after the complete set of DAP materials is submitted, and the minutes of the DAP Session will generally be issued approximately 2 weeks (10 working days) after the DAP session.
Should the DAP find that the design proposal requires many changes, the Applicant would be advised to resubmit the proposal for a second DAP session, following the process stated in Point 2. This second DAP session would similarly be carried out prior to the DG or CG submission. The number of pre-submission DAP sessions will generally be limited to two.
Should the DAP deem the design proposal to be acceptable or require only minor revisions, the Applicant would be advised to proceed with the DG or CG submission. The Applicant is to inform URA by way of email, at least 4 weeks in advance, on the date of the formal submission, to secure the availability of the various DAP members for a potential subsequent DAP session. Following the formal submission, URA will advise if a subsequent DAP session is indeed needed.
If so, the DG or CG process will be extended from 20 working days to 30 working days to accommodate the additional DAP session.
If a second DAP session is not required, the DG or CG process will remain at 20 working days.
