List of Singaporean town councils
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of Singaporean town councils.
Currently, there are 19 town councils (TCs) in Singapore following the 2025 general election, all of which took effect before 1 August 2025. For the first time since 2011, one TC (Jalan Kayu) manages a standalone single-member constituency (SMC);[1] each of the rest manages a group representation constituency (GRC) and 0–2 SMCs. Four existing TCs were renamed to reflect the renaming of their GRCs: Jurong–Clementi–Bukit Batok, Marine Parade–Braddell Heights, Pasir Ris–Changi and West Coast–Jurong West.[2] The opposition-held Aljunied-Hougang Town Council was also transferred from the North East CDC to South East CDC, making it the first time since 2006 an existing town council have a change in their CDC.[3]

After the 1997 general election, the number of TCs was further reduced to 14.[16] For the first time, Community Development Councils (CDCs) were established by the People's Association Act (CDC Rules & Regulations 1997), with the official reason being to promote cohesion and self-resilience among the electorate. During the period, there were nine CDCs, including Central Singapore and North East, which would later nominally survive a simplification of the CDC system.[17]

The TCs of East Coast and Jurong were respectively renamed to Aljunied-Hougang, East Coast–Fengshan and Jurong–Clementi to reflect new boundary changes, while Aljunied–Hougang–Punggol East TC reverted to Aljunied–Hougang after the PAP regained Punggol East SMC. For the first time, all town councils were overseen by GRCs, as Potong Pasir SMC, which had retained its standalone TC after the 2011 general election, fell under the purview of the revived Jalan Besar TC.[25][26]
