[1] Community service providers can be government agencies, Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs), and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).
[2] Bonus Gross Floor Area (GFA) approved under the CSFS is subject to an overall cap of 10% of the maximum permissible GFA for the site allowed under the Master Plan or 2,000sqm (whichever is lower), and will not form the future development potential of the site upon redevelopment. If payable, development charge (DC) or differential premium (DP) will be levied for the bonus GFA, based on the approved community or sports use.
