Community Development Council

There are currently five Community Development Councils as of 27 July 2020:[1] The council boundaries follow that of the existing political divisions, with each handling between four and six GRCs and SMCs and roughly dividing the country's population into equal parts.

Each CDC is managed by a Council, which in turn is headed by an appointed mayor[2][3] and has between 12 and 80 members.

Singapore has in total five mayors, each responsible for the CDC in a specific district.

[7] The CDCs are funded by an annual sum from the government directly proportionate to the number of residents living within their jurisdiction at a rate of S$1 per person.

The government also pays for the councils' operational costs, including that for its offices.
