Contents of schemes

(1) Every scheme shall specify and define clearly the area to which it relates. (2) Every scheme shall contain such provisions as are necessary or expedient for prohibiting or regulating the development of land in the area to which the scheme applies, and generally for carrying out any of the objects for which the scheme is made, and in particular for dealing with any of the matters mentioned in the Third Schedule. (3) A scheme may provide for the pooling and re- distribution of lands, or for re-adjustment of the boundaries and areas of any such lands: Provided that, (a) such lands are not already built upon, or if already built upon, the inclusion of such lands is expedient to the scheme; and (b) in the event of any owner not agreeing to the pooling and re-distribution of his land, or to the re-adjustment of the boundaries and areas of his land, the Minister may acquire the land or any part thereof as is necessary for carrying out the scheme. (4) Any law (other than the Disaster Preparedness and Response Act), Cap. 145 relating to development, road construction, building operations or sanitation inconsistent with the provisions of a scheme or the application of which would tend to hinder the carrying out of the scheme shall not apply to the area to which the scheme relates.
