Pulau Semakau is located to the south of the Singapore. The Semakau Landfill is located on the eastern side of the island, and was created by the amalgamation of Pulau Sakeng (also known as Pulau Seking), and anchored to Pulau Semakau. The Semakau Landfill is Singapore's first offshore landfill and now the only remaining landfill. It was also the first to combine a landfill with a biodiversity conservation zone.
The landfill covers a total area of 3.5 square kilometres and has a capacity of 63 million m³. To create the required landfill space, a 7 km perimeter rock bund was built to enclose a part of the sea between Pulau Semakau and Pulau Sakeng. It is currently estimated that the landfill, which began operations on 1 Apr 1999, will last till 2045. The Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, along with the National Environment Agency manage the landfill. Up to date it has accumulated 2,330 tones of waste and is expected to be full in about three years.
It's expansion has been undertaken and is expected to end in 2015, adding 160 ha to the existing surface.
Semakau Landfill is filled mainly with ash produced by Singapore's four incineration plants, which incinerate the country's waste, shipped there in a covered barge (to prevent the ash from getting blown into the air) every night. The care put into the design and operational work at the landfill ensures that the site is clean, free of smell and scenic. During construction.The landfill is lined with an impermeable membrane, and clay and any leachate produced is processed at a leachate treatment plant. Regular water testing is carried out to ensure the integrity of the impermeable liners.

The attraction built over 12 hectares of land, will be nestled between its two counterparts the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari.

One of the main attractions will be a pair of male and female Giant pandas; Kai Kai and Jia Jia- who are housed in a specially constructed climate-controlled enclosure which can rotate through the four seasons emulating their original environment. The zoo will also grow its own 8000 sq metre plantation of special bamboo specially for feeding the giant pandas, these pandas are on loan to Singapore from the China Wildlife Conservation Association. The pandas are a sign of the twentieth anniversary of friendly Sino-Singapore relations. The names of the 2 Pandas were selected from entries of a competition organized in 2010. The pandas are on a ten year loan to Singapore.
The park will features two major theme park rides: white water rafting and a boat ride. The white water rafting attraction features Malayan Tigers as its main animal attraction while the Amazon slow boat ride features over 20 species of animals from the Amazon River.
Verre Wine Bar aims to bring the appreciation of fine wine to everyone.
With their signature central cellar tower rising out of their duplex warehouse conservation space, they seek to make good wine the centre of attention.
At Verre, they strongly adhere to their founding manifesto:
The Verre Manifesto:
Verre believes that everyone should be able to taste, appreciate and savour fine wine, in a casual, unpretentious environment.
Through their personal relationships with winemakers, producers and suppliers, they have hand-picked a comprehensive, high quality wine list, especially from France, the mother-country of wine.
They support individual winemaker-families who are singularly dedicated to the traditional, artisanal craft of winemaking: showcasing the importance of terroir. Terroir (tɛrwar) is the combination of how geology, geography and climate bestow unique characteristics upon wine.
They strive to debunk the theory that fine wine is inaccessible and the preserve of few.
The democratization of wine is within reach, through their competitive prices and extensive, rotating wine-by-the-glass list.
They promise to impart their collective wine knowledge to enhance your drinking experience.
Group Therapy is a collective space for groups to gather and is tucked away on the 2nd story of a gorgeous conservation shophouse in the newly gentrified Duxton enclave.
Owners Deborah & Weilin believe that the best form of nourishment for the soul is often sought through inter-personal relationships forged through common interests and values – thus the name ‘Group Therapy’. The location of the space is deliberately secluded and its interiors left raw yet comforting to reveal its simplicity and authenticity for those seeking respite in the heart of the CBD.
They serve 100% Arabica Costa Rican beans all day from their espresso bar which are freshly ground on premise for each and every cup. They also serve a small brunch and lunch menu, as well as sweet treats throughout the day including freshly made waffles and home-made cakes.
For the non-coffee drinkers, they carry a selection of JING teas, artisanal & hand crafted beers, and boutique wines – there’s bound to be something for everyone!
They also have regular experiential lifestyle workshops on art, coffee, wine and beer. The space also accommodates events, bespoke parties, launches and celebrations.
Dive into the aquatic world and get a chance to interact with dolphins, snorkel with rays and come face to face with some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures.
Set to be the largest oceanarium in the world, the Marine Life Park is where families come for a whale of a time. Venture into a wading pool for some intimate interaction with reef fishes, or learn about the wonderful but depleting coral reefs. You can also join one of the engaging programmes especially tailored to both entertain and educate visitors.
Research, public education and conservation efforts for marine life are the cornerstones of the Marine Life Park. Resorts World aims to educate and enrich the understanding and protection of the oceans, and the Marine Life Park will serve as a showcase for ocean science education, research and stewardship.
Innovative design, engaging programmes and excellence in animal care and husbandry will create magical moments and lifelong memories. The lushly-landscaped Marine Life Park will comfortably provide a top- quality entertaining and educational outing for visitors, kids and adults alike.
