How to Apply

Application Process

To begin an application for the Skyrise Greenery Incentive Scheme (SGIS), please submit your details on FormSG.

There are two stages in the SGIS application process:

  • Application stage

  • Reimbursement stage

Stage 1: Application

After submitting your details, our Skyrise Greenery Manager will contact you to guide you on the process, including the submission of relevant application forms and supporting documents. You are required to submit your application before any site work begins.

Your proposed skyrise greenery project will be assessed for SGIS based on the project’s merits and ability to contribute towards climate, ecological and social resilience goals.

If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of offer from NParks. This letter of offer will be valid for 12 months during which the project should be completed, with extension allowed upon request. You may only begin installation works upon receiving the letter of offer.

Additional steps for MOE schools

Schools under the Ministry of Education (MOE) are required to inform MOE (School Campus Division) of their proposed skyrise greenery installation. A copy of MOE SCD’s written acknowledgement of the works should be submitted to NParks together with the application documents.

Documents Required for SGIS Application for Rooftop/Vertical Greenery

  • Completed Application Form - Application form will be provided after NParks confirms that the site is eligible for SGIS
  • Completed SGIS application checklist
  • Proposed rooftop/vertical greenery plan
  • Details of proposed rooftop/vertical greenery system
  • Photos of proposed site
  • Proposed plant species
  • Document showing estimated cost of Rooftop/Vertical Greenery (e.g., Quotation from contractor)
  • Details of irrigation and drainage if applicable

Alteration

NParks’ prior approval should be sought for any changes to the submitted plant species or rooftop/vertical greenery plan as deviation from the approved plan may affect SGIS approval and subsequent reimbursement.

Stage 2: Reimbursement

Once the installation is completed, please contact your Skyrise Greenery Manager to begin the reimbursement process. NParks will arrange a site inspection to ensure that 80% greenery coverage of the proposed plan has been achieved.

Documents Required for Reimbursement for Rooftop/Vertical Greenery

  • Completed Reimbursement Form – Reimbursement form will be provided by NParks
  • As-built drawing of the rooftop/vertical greenery with dimensions
  • Details of installed rooftop/vertical greenery system
  • Photos of completed rooftop/vertical greenery
  • Planting plan indicating plant species
  • Documentary proof of installation cost
  • Proof of payment for installation of the Rooftop/Vertical Greenery
  • Completed Direct credit authorisation form or PayNow authorisation form - forms will be provided by NParks
  • Letter of undertaking to maintain the Rooftop/Vertical Greenery for the Holding Period of a minimum of 5 years

You will receive a reimbursement letter once the reimbursement is approved. Please be reminded that the rooftop/vertical greenery must be maintained for a period of 5 years after completion as part of the undertaking period, failing which NParks reserve the right to recover the funds. Please seek NParks approval prior to implementing any changes to the rooftop/vertical greenery that will result in a reduction in the Total Green Area during the undertaking period.
