for Workers' Dormitories |

|
Before submission of an application to URA for the proposed new workers'
dormitory or renewal of temporary permission for any existing dormitory,
ancillary or secondary, HDB's tenants are required to obtain prior clearance
from HDB.
An Ancillary Workers' Dormitory is where the tenants' own on-site workers
are housed. A Secondary Workers' Dormitory houses off-site workers. It
may also house on-site workers. Housing off-site workers is considered
as a Subletting which attracts a Sublet
Consent Fee payable by the tenant.
All building plans for the applications of Ancillary and Secondary Workers'
Dormitories are subject also to approvals from SCDF and BCA.
