Holland-Bukit Timah Group Representation Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 荷蘭-武吉知馬集選區;Simplified Chinese: 荷兰-武吉知马集选区) is a four-member Group Representation Constituency located in the central, western and northern areas of Singapore. The Group Representation Constituency has not received a contest since it was formed in 2006.
Originally known as the Holland-Bukit Panjang Group Representation Constituency, it was renamed to its present name due to the Bukit Panjang ward of the GRC being carved out to form a Single Member Constituency. The Bukit Timah Single Member Constituency was absorbed and became part of the GRC.
Holland-Bukit Timah GRC is led by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
The GRC is divided into four parts namely, Bukit Timah, Cashew, Ulu Pandan and Zhenghua. In this wards, Bukit Timah Road is nowhere located near or within the Bukit Timah boundary. Instead, the Bukit Timah ward consists parts of Clementi, a portion of Jurong East, International Business Park, Toh Tuck, Eng Kong Gardens and Faber Heights. The Cashew ward consists of Chestnut Drive housing estate, Cashew Road and Dairy Farm Road. Ulu Pandan consists of Clementi Neighbourhood 1, Sunset Way housing estate, Sixth Avenue, Bukit Timah Road, Old Holland Road, Mount Sinai, Ghim Moh and Farrer Road. Zhenghua consists of Central Water Catchment, Mandai, a portion of Bukit Panjang, MacRitchie Reservoir, Old Upper Thomson Road, Binjai Park and formerly a portion cornered by Pan Island Expressway, Eng Neo Avenue, Dunearn Road and Adam Road which has been transferred to Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency. The Buona Vista ward will be part of Tanjong Pagar GRC from 2011.
A large portion of Holland-Bukit Timah GRC is made up of jungle and nature reserve, namely the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
