Historic case from Towards a Bukit Timah Sports Hub, November 2019. Not a current facility audit. Subsequent URA planning for housing at Bukit Timah Turf City is a separate land-use fact and is not rugby participation data.
Additional investment was constrained by lease / tenure certainty. Capital was not always the binding constraint.
