Black and whites at old Seletar airbase to get new lease of life

The black and white bungalows at the former Seletar airbase were built to house officers from Britain’s Royal Air Force before the outbreak of World War II. Now they could house offices, schools, restaurants, spas and sports facilities under plans being drawn up by the Government, The Straits Times has learnt.
All 32 bungalows, which have been vacant in recent years, and two former military buildings at The Oval and Park Lane will also be gazetted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority for conservation.
Despite the planned makeover, JTC Corporation is intending to maintain the colonial charm of the structures. “This will add vibrancy to the area and the ambience will also be preserved with the decision to zone it as a heritage site,” said JTC’s aerospace director Leow Thiam Seng.
