Boon Lay is a planning area situated in the West Region of Singapore. It shares boundaries with the planning areas of Pioneer to the west, Jurong West to the north, Jurong East to the east and Jurong Strait to the south.
It is important to note that the Boon Lay Planning Area is distinct from the Boon Lay subzone, which lies within the neighbouring planning area of Jurong West. Together with adjacent Pioneer, the Boon Lay Planning Area forms part of the broader Jurong Industrial Estate.
